Cheddar: the 44-year-old novice politician hoping to retire 60+ oldies

The last time someone in his forties was president of Ghana was in 1992, when the late former Head of State, Flt. Lt, Jerry John Rawlings, became the first president of the fourth republic of Ghana.

As a young 45-year-old Airforce soldier-pilot, he left his mark as a force to be reckoned with, giving Ghana its most stable republic since independence in 1957, but since then, not so many people in that age bracket have been successful at becoming Head of State.

But there is a young, daring, and ambitious man who is confident that with all the work that he has done, being able to rally the youth behind his vision, he can give Ghana its next youthful president.

Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, is the brain behind the New Force Movement and he is confident he can cause a major shake in the political landscape of Ghana on December 7, 2024, when the nation goes to the polls.

Seated at Number 12 on the ballot papers, Cheddar ultimately wants to work towards a United States of Africa, with a cooked-up plan of a $50,000 Citizenship by Investment program aimed at raising a whopping $50 billion for Ghana’s economy. And run a government of only 12 ministers.

The 44-year-old is also convinced that he is the man to actually retire all the 60+-year-old candidates in the race, regardless of the fact that these same ‘retirees’ head the biggest political parties in Ghana; the same two parties that have ruled Ghana since the dawn of the fourth republic.
