The New Force political movement has denied rumors suggesting that its founder, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has joined the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a statement released on Saturday, February 17, the movement clarified that any reports linking Cheddar to the NDC are untrue and should be ignored.

The statement reiterated that the New Force has no plans to ally with any organization or political party in pursuit of its goals. However, it voiced concerns about purported efforts by the government or its agents to undermine Cheddar's leadership.

"It has come to the attention of the New Force Team that certain online news outlets are publishing news items purporting that Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of The New Force has joined or intends to join NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama."

"The news items make it appear as though Nana Kwame Bediako finds it expedient to join another political party organisation because several efforts and plans of The New Force have so far been frustrated by the current government administration," an excerpt of the statement said.
