NDC's Pro-Youth Policies Making Party More Attractive – Asifufuo Chief



The Chief of Asifufuo, Nana Okyere Siabour III, has commended the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its growing appeal to the youth, attributing this to the party's pro-youth policies. Speaking at a community engagement event in Norberkow, part of the NDC vice-presidential candidate Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang's campaign tour in the Ahafo Region, Nana Okyere Siabour noted that the NDC has evolved from being primarily supported by older generations to now drawing significant youth interest.


The chief emphasized that policies such as the NDC's 24-Hour Economy, Big Push, and No Fee Stress have resonated with young Ghanaians seeking employment and opportunities. He highlighted that, in the past, it was rare to see youth supporting the NDC openly, but that has changed significantly.


"Not too long ago, it was difficult to see the youth following the NDC and even wearing NDC T-shirts. But that is not the case anymore as the youth have taken over the party, making it very attractive," Nana Okyere Siabour remarked.


He further expressed confidence in the NDC's potential to make history, referencing the party's ability to meet its promises to the people. "Some people have been using the ‘break the 8’ mantra, but I can assure you that if the next NDC government fulfills its promises, the party will be the first to break the 8," he added.


Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, addressing the gathering, reaffirmed the NDC’s commitment to improving the lives of all Ghanaians. She called on voters to support former President John Dramani Mahama and NDC parliamentary candidates in the upcoming December elections, promising a better future for the country.


The event formed part of the NDC's broader efforts to engage local communities across the Ahafo Region ahead of the elections.

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...
