The guy with the mask, also known as the leader of the New Force political movement, dominated many talks in Ghana in the later days of 2023, as many Ghanaians wondered who he was.
Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, a Ghanaian business billionaire, was identified as the guy behind the New Force political organization on January 7, 2024.
In a news conference, he revealed his desire to run for president in 2024, saying he is a guy with a good purpose and a big vision.
Eugenia Diabah, a GhanaWeb reporter, spoke with various Ghanaians at Madina Market to find out if they would vote for Cheddar if his name was among the presidential contenders for the December 7, 2024 election.
Some argue that it is past time to disrupt the status quo and empower the youth to take control.
Others agreed, claiming that the two main political parties in Ghana are the only ones they are know with, and so Cheddar will not receive their votes.
“I do not know him. The only people who have marketed themselves to Ghanaians are Mahamudu Bawumia and John Dramani Mahama. I do not know the other presidential aspirants. When I go to the polls to vote, it’s either I will vote for Mahama or Bawumia. I do not understand why he had to hide behind a mask if he wanted to become president. We do not know him. He has to market himself to us before we give him our votes”, a trader stated.
“We will vote for him. We have tried the two old men and the country cannot move further with these two old men. We have to go in for the youth. We know what Cheddar has done because we follow him on social media. We know his capabilities. We are tired of both NPP and NDC. The truth must be told. We pay taxes to them and they spend it. I do not mind if the youth spend our taxes. It’s about time the youth must take in charge over every sector of the economy”, a driver stated.
