NDC Youth Working Committee inaugurated

The Ashanti Regional leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Saturday inaugurated a Youth Working Committee to spearhead the party’s agenda of securing massive votes in the region in the 2016 general election.

The Committee, under the Chairmanship of Mr Ernest Brogya Genfi, the Regional Youth Organiser, is mandated to coordinate activities of the party’s youth wing, as well as all identifiable youth groups, to achieve its objectives.

It would also be expected to propagate government policies, development programmes and projects within the vision of the NDC manifesto.

One million votes

“Empowering the youth wing for a successful implementation of Operation One Million Votes in election 2016,” was the theme for the programme which coincided with a three-day capacity-building workshop organised for the NDC regional youth wing.

Its target is the youth organizers and their deputies in all the 47 constituencies, as well as a cross-section of the party’s leadership.

Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, a National Vice-Chairman of the NDC, said the party had since 2009 delivered on its campaign promises, citing various development projects being undertaken by the government to improve the living conditions of the masses.
