The Ahafo Regional Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has begun a renewed drive to strengthen the party’s youth base as part of preparations for the 2028 general elections.
The initiative was announced during a meeting in Goaso, where the regional youth executives engaged youth organisers from all six constituencies in the region to discuss strategies for consolidating the party’s grassroots support.
Speaking to Adom News, the Ahafo Regional Deputy Youth Organiser, Razak Ahmed, said the NDC is determined to retain power in the next general elections and believes a strong and united youth front will be critical to achieving that objective.
According to him, following the party’s recent branch elections, there is the need to foster unity by resolving any misunderstandings that may have arisen during the electoral process.
“We cannot afford to lose the next general elections. It is important that we maintain peace and unity within the party while strengthening our youth front,” he said.
Mr Ahmed noted that the youth played a decisive role in the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections, adding that many young people were attracted to the party’s message and turned out in large numbers to support its campaign.
He said the regional youth leadership has already outlined strategies aimed at expanding and strengthening the party’s youth support base to secure another electoral victory in 2028.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Youth Organiser for Asutifi North, Patricia Oteng Agyemang, speaking on behalf of the constituency youth organisers, commended the regional executives for organising the engagement.
She described the meeting as timely, saying it would help reinforce unity and strengthen the party’s youth structures across the region.
Ms Oteng Agyemang, however, appealed to the government to intensify efforts to address youth unemployment in the Ahafo Region.
While acknowledging the government’s efforts, she said more needed to be done to create employment opportunities for the many young people who contributed to the party’s electoral success.
The engagement brought together youth organisers from the Asunafo North, Asunafo South, Asutifi North, Asutifi South, Tano North and Tano South constituencies.
