We are still moving with our movement. I\u2019m running in the December polls as an independent presidential candidate. Because they didn\u2019t give us any license or even provisional license. You will see me on the ballot on December 7. The governance of the country is poor, the government is the problem. We need to be responsible for the leaders we choose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last 4 decades, between the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party, there hasn\u2019t been any young person who has dared to stand up and say he\u2019s coming. I\u2019m the unifier between the youth and the government. I\u2019m for the people who need change; I\u2019m for the neutral people, and I don\u2019t belong to any political party. We aim to build a middle-income nation by creating jobs for the youth,\u201d he promised.<\/p>\n<p>The real estate mogul highlighted the policies he intends to pursue, promising to invest in affordable housing for the youth if he wins the December polls.<\/p>\n<p>He further promised to offer loans to graduates to purchase apartments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our plan for Wonder World, we have a solid development that we want to introduce to universities; it\u2019s called graduates. We will give them loans to buy apartments, which is a charity focus. Ghana is developing affordable homes and they say it\u2019s affordable homes but are charging people $60,000 to $80,000. And these developments are not integrated. We plan to invest in affordable housing, with an integration, and I have to do it right. Affordable housing needs basic infrastructure will be put in place, sewerage, internet, planning, wiring,\u201d Cheddar promised.<\/p>\n<p>The founder of the New Force Movement said he has officers in all 16 regions.<\/p>\n<p>citinewsroom.com <\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian entrepreneur and founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, has declared his intention to contest the presidential elections on December 7, 2024.
