• Lil Win has officially announced his intention to contest for president of the Ghana Actors Guild, potentially setting up an election contest with fellow actor Van Vicker.

• His announcement comes amid strained relations with Van Vicker, after Lil Win recently said he would no longer work with him.

• If elected, Lil Win says he wants to establish a dedicated streaming platform for Ghanaian films, potentially backed by investment from Dubai or other Arab countries.

Lil Win’s announcement comes amid strained relations between the two actors. Just days earlier, he said he would no longer work with Van Vicker, accusing his colleague of repeatedly turning down movie roles and failing to communicate with him before scheduled productions.

The latest development also comes months after a prolonged legal dispute over the leadership of the Ghana Actors Guild was brought to an end.

In January 2026, a court ruled that former Guild president Sammy Fiscian’s tenure had expired in 2017 and directed Van Vicker to compile a new membership register ahead of fresh elections.

He said;

His declaration reportedly came as a surprise to those present during the interview, with questions raised about whether his decision was intended to challenge Van Vicker’s reported bid for the presidency.

Lil Win, however, rejected suggestions that his candidacy was motivated by a desire to undermine his fellow actor.

According to Lil Win, such a platform could provide filmmakers with greater control over their content while creating another revenue stream for the industry.
