Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has dismissed rumours that he did not vote for his party in the recently concluded 2024 presidential election.
“The point I am trying to make is, as a nation, don’t we get enough of destroying our own and lying? And yes, my wife voted for me, and I voted for myself,” he clarified.
Speaking at his first media briefing since the election in Accra on Monday, Mr Bediako expressed concerns over inconsistencies in the electoral process.
Addressing the re-collation and re-declaration of results in some highly contested constituencies, he emphasized the need for electoral reforms to establish robust systems that enhance transparency and uphold democracy in the country.
Mr Bediako also revealed that, strangers assigned as his polling station agents during the elections, raising questions about the organization and oversight of his team.
He further criticized the current electoral system, describing it as inadequate to support true democratic values.
“Our system is not the best system that can really support what we believe in as democracy. This is something I believe our leaders need to address and fix,” he added.
Cheddar called for a collective national effort to build and uphold systems rooted in laws and governance that protect the integrity of the nation’s democracy.
