Leader of the political movement, The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, has unveiled an ambitious plan to maximize the economic potential of all regions in Ghana.
Mr Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, emphasized his commitment to reviving the industrial capabilities of regions that have been neglected for years.
He said this during the launch of his campaign ahead of the 2024 elections on Sunday, September 1.

Cheddar 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.
He revealed the results of extensive research conducted by his team, which identified the vast mineral and agricultural wealth in these regions.
"Tonight, I would like to unveil all the potential minerals, arable lands, and all that we have discovered through the research within the 15 regions to Ghanaians. We start by making sure we invest in all these 16 regions, that is industrial plants to be able to refine all our minerals, and then the processing plants, to be able to process all our agro plants,” Cheddar explained.
According to his research, Ghana’s potential mineral resources—including gold, iron ore, gas, bauxite, lithium, and diamonds—along with its agricultural lands, amount to an estimated $2.5 trillion. Cheddar projects that by fully harnessing these resources, Ghana could achieve an economic output of $4.7 trillion within the next decade.
In addition to boosting the economy, Cheddar’s plan aims to create significant employment opportunities. “We will also create 8 million jobs in a decade,” he promised, outlining a vision of widespread economic development and job creation across the country.
Cheddar’s campaign is centered on the belief that every region in Ghana has untapped wealth that can contribute to national prosperity.
