In the 2024 presidential elections, half of the voters who initially planned to vote for independent candidate and leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, rescinded their decision.
Independent research firm Global InfoAnalytics revealed this in a social media post on Monday, March 31, ahead of the release of its new poll scheduled for Wednesday, March 2.
The firm further noted that although the majority of these voters changed their minds, Bediako’s supporters were more committed than those of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, who finished fourth in the polls.
“Only 50% of voters who had planned to vote for Nana Kwame Bediako ended up voting for him on election day, according to a new poll.
“In the 2024 elections, Nana Kwame Bediako’s voters were more committed than Alan Kyerematen’s voters, according to the new poll,” the post read.
