Business mogul and politician, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar, has announced Dr. Maryam Esaka Kriese as his running mate ahead of the presidential elections.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Kumasi, where Cheddar expressed his confidence in Dr. Kriese’s exceptional qualifications and her potential to help steer Ghana toward a brighter future.
Dr. Kriese is a respected academic with a strong background in development studies, gender issues, and African studies. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Political Science from the University of Ghana, she has furthered her education with advanced degrees abroad.
Currently a lecturer at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), she is actively engaged in research and curriculum development, making significant contributions to the academic landscape.
Her previous role as a Senior Manager at the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) showcases her impact on Ghana’s financial sector.

In this capacity, Dr. Kriese was instrumental in shaping policies and regulations that govern the market, highlighting her expertise in training industry professionals and educating investors, which Cheddar emphasized as crucial for financial empowerment in Ghana.
Dr. Kriese’s diverse experience positions her as a vital asset to the New Force campaign. In her remarks following her introduction, she aligned herself with Cheddar’s vision of creating jobs and opportunities for all Ghanaians, emphasizing the need to address the challenges inherited from previous administrations.
Her strong academic credentials and professional background provide a solid foundation for the New Force’s platform.
As Cheddar steps into this election cycle, questions loom over his chances of success. His unconventional approach to politics, marked by bold statements and ambitious proposals, has attracted both support and criticism.
His choice of Dr. Kriese as a running mate reflects a strategic effort to appeal to a wider electorate, particularly the youth and educated professionals who seek substantive policies and effective governance.
However, Cheddar’s journey to winning the hearts of Ghanaians is fraught with challenges. Critics argue that he must navigate a complex political landscape dominated by well-established parties.
While he has garnered attention for his entrepreneurial success and philanthropic endeavours, there remains scepticism about whether his past actions have resonated positively with the electorate.
His push for progressive policies, coupled with Dr. Kriese’s academic prowess, could position the New Force as a formidable alternative in the election.
Yet, for Cheddar to truly connect with voters, he must engage meaningfully with their concerns and aspirations, proving that he is not just another candidate making lofty promises but a genuine leader who understands the intricacies of Ghanaian society.
As the election date approaches, Cheddar and Dr. Kriese will need to mobilize their supporters and articulate a compelling vision that speaks to the hopes and dreams of Ghanaians.
If successful, their partnership could signal a transformative moment in Ghanaian politics, challenging the status quo and offering voters a new direction. The journey ahead is not only about winning votes but also about instilling confidence in a vision that promises to uplift the nation as a whole.
