Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of The New Force Movement, has declared his candidacy as an independent in the upcoming presidential elections following challenges in registering his party with the Electoral Commission (EC).
Despite submitting required forms on September 12, 2023, The New Force only received a provisional certificate after an eight-month delay. This delay, according to Bediako, hindered effective campaigning within the allotted timeframe.
“At this point, pursuing a full party license in time for the elections is impractical. Therefore, we have decided to proceed with an independent candidacy,” Bediako stated at a press conference held at Kwarleys Residence this morning.
Bediako emphasized that his decision to run independently stems from his commitment to national development, free from bureaucratic obstacles. He assured Ghanaians of his dedication to economic freedom, equity, equality, and empowerment for all citizens.
“This campaign aims to revolutionize our future. Running as an independent allows us to bypass entrenched interests and bureaucratic delays, focusing on unlocking our nation’s vast potential,” Bediako explained.
He also outlined his vision for Ghana, emphasizing fostering democracy, ambition, and entrepreneurship among citizens. Bediako reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the people, aiming to ensure all voices are heard and represented.
Bediako’s announcement has garnered significant interest and support among his followers, who view his independent bid as a potential catalyst for change in Ghana’s political landscape.
“After eight months of waiting and only receiving a provisional license, it has become clear that pursuing a full party license in time for the elections is impractical. Therefore, we have decided to proceed with an independent candidacy,” Bediako stated.
“This campaign is a revolution for a prosperous future. Running as an independent allows us to bypass entrenched interests and bureaucratic delays, focusing instead on unleashing the immense potential of our nation’s resources and people,” Bediako explained.
