Veteran Ghanaian actor Alexander Kofi Adu has disclosed that the ongoing court case involving The Base Movement and The Base Ghana First LBG has been adjourned to Friday, May 15.
The matter, currently before a High Court in Accra, centres on disputes over the use of the name and branding associated with the two groups.
According to court filings, Base Ghana First LBG, which split from The Base Movement founded by Agya Koo, is accusing the latter of misrepresenting itself and using its identity in a manner that allegedly misleads the public.
Speaking on the matter, Agya Koo expressed hope that the legal process would help restore order and prevent what he described as unnecessary political tension.
Facts of the case
The case centres on the use of the name “The Base Ghana First” and claims of alleged misrepresentation and identity confusion between the two groups.
In its statement of case, Base Ghana First LBG explained that both factions were originally part of The Base Movement before internal disagreements led to a split and the eventual formation of a new entity in March 2026.
According to court documents, tensions reportedly emerged over leadership decisions, internal procedures and the management of the group’s affairs.
The plaintiff alleges that some national executives were removed from official communication platforms and that activities of the original movement were suspended without proper consultation or due process.
The suit also accuses the leadership of The Base Movement of forming a nine-member executive council contrary to the organisation’s established rules.
Lawyers for Base Ghana First LBG argue that after the split, the new group rapidly gained support and expanded its presence across the country.
However, the plaintiff claims The Base Movement continues to use the name “The Base Ghana First” on souvenirs, signboards and official materials, creating public confusion and suggesting a connection between the two organisations.
The breakaway group further alleges that the continued use of the name is misleading supporters and potential investors while benefiting from its growing recognition and goodwill.
The plaintiff is therefore seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent The Base Movement from using the disputed name in any public engagement or dealings.
