Ghanaian Youth Unite Beyond Politics to Call on President Mahama to Continue His Good Works

In an extraordinary show of unity and patriotism, the youth of Ghana — from every political party and background — have come together to form a powerful movement without political colors. This movement, known as The Youth for National Progress, has one clear message: President John Dramani Mahama must continue the great work he has begun for Ghana.

For the first time in many years, young people are putting aside political differences to speak with one voice. They believe that Ghana’s progress and development should not be interrupted by political rivalry or division. Instead, they are calling for continuity, stability, and visionary leadership to build on the foundation already laid.

According to the group’s leaders, under President Mahama’s leadership, Ghana has seen real progress in infrastructure, education, health, and digital transformation. Roads, hospitals, schools, and energy projects have given hope to millions. The youth believe that with a renewed mandate, Mahama can complete these projects and take Ghana to even greater heights.

“Our generation has suffered enough from leadership that focuses on politics instead of progress,” the movement declared. “We have seen what happens when unqualified leaders take over — our nation goes backward. This time, we are united for Ghana, not for any political party.”

They emphasized that their mission is not about party loyalty, but about national interest and the future of the youth. By uniting as one people, they hope to inspire all Ghanaians to think beyond partisanship and support the kind of leadership that brings tangible results.

As the movement spreads across the regions, it is gaining massive support from students, entrepreneurs, farmers, and professionals who share a common belief — that Ghana deserves continuity, not constant change.

In their words: “We are not NDC, we are not NPP — we are Ghanaian youth, united for progress, peace, and prosperity.”

Hahahaha . What a funny idea from a Politician. Hahahaha. Do you want us to recruit Old Men and Women to become Soldiers? This is not only funny but also ridiculous. Anyway, when recruited, they know that they will not go to any war but just put on their Military Uniforms and go to town to show off and bully innocent civilians. In Uncle Sam’s country, Canada, and the Developed Western World, people are pleaded to or lured to join the Military even from the High School. And in Ghana, the applicants queue for days at the Sports Stadium just to apply to see if they can be enlisted. What a Poor and Backward Country..
Why can’t we recruit such young ones to be in the farming and construction work? When I was quite young at the times of Busia, Kutu and Akuffo, nobody queued up to join the Army. I have some classmates who are members of the Salvation Army and were recruited to join the Army because they could play the Trumpet. What happened? Now you have to know someone who can help you to bribe your way through. What a failed and corrupt country..
We must admit that we are living in a sorry country. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Our system is nasty. Soldiers can just go to town and even bully young guys because they have clashed over a lady. TWEAA. Only in a forgotten Country like Ghana can this happen. I told my friend that in Uncle Sam’s country, we fear the Police more than the Soldiers because many of the Police have served in the Military for over 10 years before being enlisted into the Police and be trained to deal with Civilians. Men, you can’t joke with the Police of Uncle Sam. Try, and you will be a Dead Dog.

NDC foot soldiers are the only who voted NDC to power? So that, when NPP comes one day, they'd want the age raised to 40?

Why are educated Ghanaians so moronic? I wish Kevin Taylor would take him on.

I would also like that all people who are allowed to vote should present their Tax Certificates for the past four years. And they must also present their Ghana Card which is difficult for non Ghanaians to have. And Ghanaians can easily see and identify non Ghanaians by their ascents when they speak the English Language, and even any other Ghanaian language. Even Togolese AYIGBE ascent is different from that of Ghanaians.

Is the recruitment of persons to the security services a reserve for political parties that age limit should be changed for them? These outspoken MPs should be castrated. In fact, Ghana has a problem at hand.

If the NDC doesn't take care their defeat in 2028 will be 1000 x 1000 more than the defeat of the NPP. So far no show for ORAL prosecutions, Galamsey issues especially lack of good drinking water and health problems, non payment of certain sections of public sector salaries, slow corruption prosecutions, etc etc. NDC be careful we are watching.

Resetting indeed. They will go and refuse to train because it's difficult. It happened in 2015, when 500 recruits had to go home for refusing training orders.

Silly politrickcians should lay off the Armed Forces.
Recruitment age should forever remain 18-30.
The War Department cannot function effectively with ricketty equipment.

You seek a review because of NDC Party foot soldiers but not Ghanaian's.
It's unfortunate. We need leaders who think about the nation, NOT a political party's foot soldiers. God bless our homeland, Ghana.

This man is not normal. What then is the difference between what occured during Addo D's era and this "Reset" era?? Do you know why the rules were set the way they have??? Should we, for the sake of convenience, sentiment and political expedience, ditch every pillar of sanctity upholding and supporting national stability?? Are those fool soldiers themselves mad for making such a proposal??? What kind of Ghana will they leave for their children if they, as father's want to actively compete with their children for what should be reserved for the latter?? And if you're allowed to join the army, a supposed bastion of discipline and integrity by breaking the very fundamental requirement of same, what then becomes of the character of the army filled with idiots and crooks who are wilfully compromised for private gain??? Are you all on tramadol or ecstacy??? I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

A person we call a lawmaker is talking about the unhappiness of footsoldiers of their political party but not the interest of the nation. There is no sense in comparing Ghana with other nations based only on age limit in the recruitment of citizens into their armies. Don't we have enough citizens to be recruited into the army using the current age limit? Politics is meant to develop a nation but in our case we are using politics to destroy our nation. No sensible MP would make such a childish statement.

They are not happy who cares? Were they the only people who voted your party into government? The military has standards so lowering the bar for your party foot soldiers will not be in the best interest of the Ghana Armed forces. The recruitment has come if you qualify:, you qualify, if you don't you don't. Look elsewhere for another job. Let stop this party that , party this. The way you guys are going most young men who meet the caterior will not be happy if they are not chosen. Since they will think you politicians are manipulating the system to your advantage

All government recruits (military, immigration, customs), etc should be the duties of the assemblies. This is division of labor. Government should allocate numbers to each region, and each region should allocate numbers to districts, and each district should share equally with traditional areas. Each traditional area should have a solder or immigration officer or custom from their area which they would be proud off. Government should take this very seriously. Division of the country cake. Don't just pack the military with recruits from one region. Let us divide the national cake. I know every traditional area has a qualified person. We have too many tribes dominating some ministries. One is Foreign Affairs and immigration and customs

SAD! So it's now official that you have to openly support a political party before being enlisted in the military. No wonder political parties, when they come to power, are able to control the military so much.
