In a bold proclamation during a visit by Nana Kwame Bediako, founder and leader of the New Force Movement, to seek blessings from the chiefs for his presidential bid, Togbe Adzie Lãkle Howusu XII, the Aʋafiagã of Asogli state has called for a paradigm shift in Ghanaian leadership.
Emphasizing the need for a "third force" and advocating for the empowerment of the youth, Togbe Howusu XII asserted that the time has come for the young generation to take the reins of governance.
The nationwide tour embarked upon by Nana Kwame Bediako, which commenced on the 1st of March, 2024 at Frankie's Hotel in Accra, has gained significant traction.
Moving through over 10 regions, Nana Kwame Bediako (NBK) has engaged with diverse communities, listening to their concerns and aspirations for the nation. This grassroots approach aims to inform the drafting of a comprehensive manifesto, tailored to address the pressing needs of the Ghanaian populace.
Togbe Howusu XII further urged the youth to throw their support behind Nana Kwame Bediako's presidential aspirations, recognising the potential of Bediako's leadership to bring about positive change.
During a meeting with the Zongo chiefs in Ho, Sariki Yushau Bashiru Turawah, the Sariki Zongo of Ho and President of the Volta Regional Council of Zongo Chiefs, offered valuable counsel to Bediako.
Stressing the importance of surrounding one's self with visionary individuals, Sariki Turawah highlighted "The New Force" as a transformative third force in Ghanaian politics.

He underscored the necessity for visibility, community interaction, and diligent effort to effect meaningful change.
Expressing concerns over the Fulani herdsmen menace, Sariki Turawah urged the government to provide adequate resources for Fulani communities, including designated reserves for animal rearing.
He advocated for equitable access to educational opportunities, lamenting the allocation of scholarships to those who may not require them while overlooking deserving candidates from Zongo communities.
Furthermore, Sariki Turawah decried the exploitation of Zongo communities for electoral gains, emphasizing the need for sustained engagement and support beyond election cycles.
He commended the emergence of youth voices in the political landscape, recognizing a pivotal shift towards inclusivity and representation.

Nana Kwame Bediako's tour extended to the bustling Ho main market, culminating in a town hall meeting at the Ho Technical University where he engaged with the youth, imparting knowledge, empowering individuals, and actively listening to their perspectives, underscoring his commitment to inclusive governance and youth empowerment.
As The New Force gains momentum, backed by endorsements from esteemed traditional leaders and community figures, the political landscape of Ghana braces for a transformative journey towards youth-driven leadership and inclusive governance.
