Samia Nkrumah Explains Why She Refused To Join Nana Kwame Bediako On His Presidential Ticket
Sep 7, 2024
Samia Nkrumah, the independent candidate for Jomoro, has disclosed why she turned down becoming Nana Kwame Bediako's running mate
She said her reason was effectively due to how much time and energy she had invested over the years to win back the seat she lost in 2013
She said while she believes Nana Kwame Bediako's offer was of good conviction, she felt her motive to stay with Jomoro was greater
Independent parliamentary candidate for the Jomoro Constituency, Samia Yaba Nkrumah, has disclosed why she declined Nana Kwame Bediako’s invitation to join his presidential ticket in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Real estate mogul and politician Kwame Bediako, a self-styled Nkrumahist, had extended an invitation to the daughter of Dr Kwame Nkrumah to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential elections, but she turned him down.
Disclosing the reason for her action in an interview on Starr FM on September 8, 2024, she said she declined Kwame Bediako’s proposal due to her commitment to the Jomoro constituency.
According to her, she had invested too much of her time and energy in her effort to win back the Jomoro Parliamentary seat, which she lost in 2013 after being an MP for only one term.
She said her conviction to run for the parliamentary seat was to ensure a revival of Nkrumahist ideals in Ghana’s decision-making body.
