Liezer-Legacy Productions has done it again and this time, it did not leave a single category on the table.
When the Ghana Movie Awards public voting portal closed, the numbers told a story that needed no embellishment. Three nominations entered. Three wins came out. It was, by any measure, a clean sweep and the kind that makes an industry stop and take notice.
The franchise at the centre of it all is one that Ghanaians have grown up with, argued about, and loved fiercely: Kejetia vs Makola the satirical courtroom comedy that turned market rivalries into national theatre. Its grip on the public imagination has never loosened. The voting results simply confirmed what its audience already knew.
Three Categories. Three Victories
Louis Lamis, Artistic Director and CEO of Liezer-Legacy Productions, claimed the award for Best Lead Actor in a Drama or Comedy with 584 votes and a commanding 41% of the total vote share, finishing 229 votes clear of his nearest competitor.
Prince Amoabeng, known to audiences as Jeneral Ntatia, delivered the largest margin of victory across the entire ballot, taking Best Supporting Actor with 567 votes and 44% of the vote share, pulling 246 votes ahead of his closest rival.
Clemento Suarez faced the most fiercely contested category of the night a star-studded field for Favourite Movie Actor of the Year and held his ground to finish with 729 votes and 38% share, seeing off a late surge to claim the crown.
Three nominations. Three wins. The margins were not close. This was not a squeaker — it was a statement.
From Radio Segment to Cultural Institution
The sweep carries weight that goes beyond trophies. It kicks off an official countdown to May 2027, which marks exactly ten years since _Kejetia vs Makola_ was formally branded and brought to life as a franchise.
The concept did not begin in a boardroom. It started as an unbranded comedic segment on _The PM Show_, a variety radio programme on Kumasi’s Luv FM. What it had, even then, was something that cannot be manufactured: a premise that resonated. Louis Lamis recognised it, stepped in around May 2017, assembled a definitive cast, and built the machinery that would carry it far beyond radio.
The early episodes short, rapid-fire skits distributed directly on social media went aggressively viral. Television networks came calling. Rather than take the first deal, the team did something rarely done with Ghanaian digital content at the time: they took it to cinema first.
The Tour That Rewrote the Record Books
The nationwide theatrical premiere tour that followed is now the stuff of industry legend. It launched in Kumasi, moved through Sunyani, Takoradi, and Tarkwa, and landed in Accra with demand so overwhelming that four planned showtimes became ten back to back and people were still asking for more.
That momentum gave Liezer-Legacy Productions the leverage to partner with Joy Prime on its terms. The franchise expanded further into feature film with The Trial of Shatta Wale and later into blockbuster live stage productions each move adding another dimension to what had become not just a show, but a universe.
The Road to May 2027
This Ghana Movie Awards sweep is the opening shot of the 10th anniversary celebrations. Television episodes are still running. Live stage productions are still drawing crowds. And the production house behind it is now in full stride, with a catalogue of new properties in development alongside the flagship franchise.
The plans for May 2027 are still taking shape, but the direction is clear: a decade deserves to be marked with the same ambition that built it events, retrospectives, and spectacles worthy of what the franchise has meant to Ghanaian culture.
The public did not just vote for individual performances,” one industry analyst noted. “They voted for a decade of cultural history. To see Kejetia vs Makola sweep an awards block ten years after its initial spark proves that it is not just a show. It is a cultural monument.
The gavel has come down. The verdict is unanimous. And the tenth year is just beginning.
