Agya Koo at a press conference on Wednesday, September 21 at Patasi in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, expressed disappointment in the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), and called on the Ghanaians to vote them out come December 7.

He revealed that together with other actors, they have launched a campaign dubbed “Agenda 57% 4 Nana Addo” to canvass support for Akuffo Addo going into the crucial election.

“Since this [NDC] government came to power, there has been so much hardship and Ghanaians are complaining… For five years I have been at home, a lot of actors and actresses are just home with nothing to eat,” he lamented.

“I called my colleagues and told them to listen to the complaints of others… Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo should come and rescue this country. John Mahama has done his bit, but the group we have started [agenda 57% for Nana Addo] will travel the length and breadth of this country to explain to people why we need a change in government and why they should support you,” he told Nana Addo.
