Independent presidential candidate Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of the New Force movement, has urged voters to reject vote-buying tactics and focus on electing leaders committed to transformative change.
Cheddar has embarked on a 276-constituency tour across the country to engage directly with voters.
In the Central Region, he visited key towns such as Mankessim, Anomabo, and Cape Coast.
The Central Region, historically known as a swing region, is emerging as a crucial battleground for the 2024 elections.
During his interactions with residents in Apam, on November 19, Nana Bediako expressed disappointment over the town’s stagnant development.
He highlighted persistent challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure, attributing them to the failed leadership of successive governments.
“I don’t know what to say but I’m sorry. I have gone to many places but coming here to Apam, I can feel that poverty is too much here. Looking at the level of development here, you wonder what the future holds. What is the government doing here to support the people of Apam?”
At the University of Cape Coast, Nana Bediako received an enthusiastic reception from students, who were inspired by his call to challenge the dominance of the NDC and NPP.
In his address, he stressed the urgency of achieving economic freedom and empowering the youth to shape Ghana’s future.
“If I am in my 60s and I tell you I am going to build your roads for you, I am going to build your universities for you. If we don’t take this country upon ourselves and we don’t take power and we don’t use our voice to control governance then we will be slaves for people.”
