Election 2024: I doubt Cheddar can garner 100K votes come Dec 7 – Miralces Aboagye
Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 Campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has cast doubt on the ability of Nana Kwame Bediako (Cheddar), leader and founder of the New Force Movement, to have any significant impact in the forthcoming December 7 general election.
According to him, none of the “third force” political parties can secure 100,000 votes in the election, stating that Ghana is not just Accra.
The leader of the New Force Movement has gained popularity with the masses since he declared his intention to contest the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate.
Cheddar, who is also a businessman, has said he has intentions of creating a million millionaires in Ghana if he becomes president. He has also promised to embark on rigorous industrialisation if elected.
He has since been touring the country and the media, conveying his message and vision for Ghanaians.
However, the NPP Communicator maintained that contesting a general election in Ghana is a serious business with significant investment and momentum sustained over a long time.
He told Giovanni Caleb on 3FM on Tuesday, June 18, 2024.
“The country has several areas that need to be addressed. What you do is analyse it and determine which aspect of it you believe is working for you and which aspect isn’t working for you to make your decision.

“Let’s also accept that Ghana is not Accra. And then let’s also understand that beyond the macroeconomy, everybody’s microeconomy is different. Our micro-economies are not the same,” he said.
Acknowledging the current economic conditions in the country under the NPP, Miracle Aboagye said the election is between Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and former President John Dramani Mahama.
“The next election, predominantly the choice Dr Bawumia and former President John Mahama, that’s what we have. That’s the decision we have to make.”

Asked whether the NPP is threatened by the third forces, specifically the New Force Movement, he retorted, “None of them can even gather more than 100,000 votes… I doubt he [Chedda] can even do a 100,000-vote.”
“Without any disrespect to them, to go into a national election is a big deal. You can’t jump into it in the middle of the day,” he added.
Meanwhile, he emphasised that the microeconomy is a determining factor going into the election, stressing that people living outside Accra would probably not experience the harsh economic situation as compared to those in the big cities, who purchase almost 80 to 90 percent of their daily essentials.
