Although Cheddar has been unable to register the New Force Movement in time as a political party going into the December 7 election, he is expected to file his nomination with the Electoral Commission as an independent candidate.
He explained that the decision to run as an independent candidate was due to delays in obtaining the necessary approval from the Electoral Commission to form a political party.
“We believe that if we have to wait for three months and are guaranteed to get this license, we would not have two months to even campaign or market for this party,” he stated.
In January this year, Mr. Bediako, nicknamed Cheddar, disclosed that his goal to become President of Ghana was a divine calling from God.
He explained that although he does not fully understand the intricacies of politics, he decided to run for office because a voice guided him, just as it has in many other aspects of his life.

“First of all, I’m not a politician. Truly, I don’t understand the pros and cons of politics. In fact, as I tell people, I don’t even know how to become an assemblyman. I wouldn’t know what to do if you told me to become an MP or a minister, and that’s why I went straight for the top post because I think that’s where you do what is right,” he said.
“I feel like I’m a reasoned leader, and this is some kind of calling. I’ve always followed the voice, what I believe in, and what the voice is telling me about where to go,” Nana Kwame Bediako said during a radio interview on Joy FM on Friday morning (December 12, 2023).
He added that although he has been contributing to the nation’s development as a private investor, being President would grant him the authority, conditions, and leverage to embark on national-scale developmental projects.
“This NPP and NDC have been going on for about four decades, and one would have expected more change in terms of human and social development. Myself, I’m a developer and an investor. I’ve tried to develop landmarks across the country, but the pace of development feels like we are still running behind schedule,” Cheddar said.
