In a bold show of support, Hundreds of youth organisers of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday, August 13, thronged the party’s headquarters in Accra to pick up presidential nomination forms on behalf of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The delegation, comprising constituency and regional youth organisers from across the country, arrived in coordinated NPP-branded attire, chanting party slogans and singing patriotic songs as they entered the premises.
Addressing the media, Isaac Obeng, a youth organiser, described the occasion as both a celebration of young people and a significant political moment.
“Yesterday was International Youth Day, and as youth organisers and deputies from various constituencies, we believe we cannot remain idle in our constituencies without marking this remarkable day,” he said.
He explained that their visit to the party headquarters was more than symbolic. “We are here today to pick the form for our incoming president, Insha Allah, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia. We believe this is a gift to him.” vb
Obeng emphasised the unity and enthusiasm among the youth, noting that representatives from numerous constituencies had come together to make the gesture.
“You can see here representatives of youth organisers from various constituencies who have come to pick this form, and from here we will move to his residence, his campaign office, where we will officially present the forms to him,” he noted.
The youth organiser expressed confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership, suggesting that the day could mark a turning point for Ghana.
“We know that, Insha Allah, this day is the day Ghana’s destiny will be rewritten. What the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has done and continues to do shows that the things Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia accomplished as Vice President are exactly what our country needs.”
