Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, leader of the New Force
Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the Founder and Leader of Perez Chapel International, has disclosed that he told Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, leader of the New Force, before the 2024 general elections that winning an election in Ghana without a political party would be impossible.
According to him, Cheddar acknowledged this message and understood that he was not going to win the election.
Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime on May 15, 2025, Archbishop Agyinasare stated, “Nana Kwame Bediako was running for president. Objectively, I had a discussion with him and told him, ‘Look, you don’t have a political party.
“You can’t win an election in Ghana without a political party. However, this is your dream, so I will pray with you.”
“But he understood that he wasn’t really going to win. He knew because he was even prevented from having people at the polling stations, polling agents. And if you don’t have polling agents, how do you monitor everything? So, it was good that he tried.”
Cheddar lost the 2024 general elections, paving the way for now-President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress during the elections.
