The Chief of Drobonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains District of the Ashanti Region has disclosed that he sacked the leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, aka Cheddar, from his land for organizing a campaign durbar in his area without visiting his palace for permission. In a video shared on social media platform X, formally Twitter, the Chief said traditionally and culturally, such an act is disrespectful and should not be entertained. “Recently, one of the politicians—I am told he’s called Nana Kwame Bediako—came to this town and held a campaign at the lorry station without paying a courtesy call here at the palace.

It is usually the norm that politicians, while on their campaign trail, first pay a courtesy call on the chief of a town they intend to campaign to seek permission and blessings before they conduct their campaign activities.

Nana Kwame Bediako, the young businessman turned politician, is poised to win the upcoming presidential election to become Ghana’s first independent president.

He highlighted that his plan focuses on tapping into the individual industrial strengths of all 16 regions in the country, with a particular emphasis on those that have remained dormant.

“It’s supposed to bring back the 15 dormant regions that we have left for so long, and we haven’t done anything,” he stated at the launch of his campaign. Cheddar has been crisscrossing the country with his message, hoping it will touch the hearts of Ghanaians to elect him as president on December 7, 2024. “Do you have a community?” The Chief of Drobonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains District of the Ashanti Region has disclosed that he sacked the leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, from his land for organizing a campaign durbar in his area without visiting his palace for…
