A controversy has erupted within the New Force Movement, as polling agents recruited by the party's founder and leader, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, claim they have not received the promised compensation for their work during the 2024 general elections. The agents, who were stationed in the Suame Constituency at Kronum KSI, were allegedly promised GH₵200 each for their efforts.
However, following the completion of their duties, the agents assert that they have not received the agreed-upon amount. Instead, they were informed via an audio message from one of the party's bosses that the payment had been reduced to GH₵100 without explanation. This sudden reduction has left the agents feeling frustrated, used, and abandoned.
One of the affected agents shared his experience in a viral note, detailing the challenges they faced while working at the polling stations. Despite arriving early without receiving food, water, or support, the agents diligently carried out their duties. The agent expressed their disappointment and shock upon learning of the payment reduction, stating, "We were there recently, and one of the bosses dropped an audio in a group chat, saying the GH₵200 has been reduced to GH₵100. All of us are speechless".
The polling agents are now seeking answers and action from Nana Kwame Bediako, hoping for a positive resolution to the dispute. The controversy has raised questions about the party's treatment of its polling agents and the transparency of its compensation processes.
In light of this development, it remains to be seen how the New Force Movement will address the concerns of its polling agents and whether Cheddar will fulfill his initial promise. The outcome of this dispute may have implications for the party's reputation and its relationships with its supporters and volunteers.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency within the party. As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the New Force Movement must take immediate action to address the concerns of its polling agents and restore trust within the party. The party's leadership must prioritize open communication and fairness in its dealings with volunteers and supporters.
