Cheddar's Real Age Pops Up: "He Doesn't Look His Age At All"

• The New Force Movement's presidential candidate is the youngest flagbearer in the 2024 elections
• However, Nana Kwame Bediako is not as young as many may have thought, with his age said to be 51
• The emergence of his age has sparked mixed reactions online as many felt he looked much younger

Nana Kwame Bediako, the New Force Movement presidential candidate in the 2024 elections, impressed some Ghanaians after details of his age emerged.

Bediako, formerly known as Cheddar and also known as Freedom Jacob Caesar, has always carried an image of a youthful candidate in the elections.

However, Bediako, who recently pleaded to be known as Freedom, is well over the 15-35 years bracket defined by the National Youth Authority in its 2022 National Youth Policy.

Official particulars submitted to the Electoral Commission as part of his presidential nomination indicate that he is 51. His age came to light as the Ghana News Agency shared flyers introducing the presidential candidates.
