Independent presidential candidate Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, staged a dramatic walk-out during the Electoral Commission’s (EC) balloting process for the 2024 general elections.

The incident, which took place today in Accra, has caused a stir, with Cheddar expressing strong dissatisfaction over the EC's approach to assigning ballot positions.

Cheddar, who is one of four independent candidates cleared to contest the presidential race, protested the EC's decision to prioritize candidates sponsored by political parties by giving them the first nine spots on the ballot.

The remaining slots were reserved for independent candidates, a move Cheddar criticized as unfair and biased against those running without the backing of established political parties.

Visibly frustrated, Cheddar confronted officials during the event, accusing the EC of discriminating against independent candidates and undermining their chances in the election. After voicing his concerns, he stormed out of the venue, signaling his discontent with the entire process.
