As Ghana’s election approach, the Campaign of Former President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is gathering more momentum and popular among the youth across the country which is enough for victory in the upcoming December 7, 2024 general election.

The energy propelling among the youth seems to come from collective feelings of anger and frustrations due to growing concerns of high employment, worsening economic hardship, bad governance, unprecedented level of poverty, high corruption scandals whiles the country’s corruption ranking has worsened, perennial increased in food prices and high cost of living, numerous insecurity which has created a mood of national despondency and dissatisfaction for Ghanaians especially the youth across the country.

A thorough survey conducted shows that 70% of the eligible Ghanaian youth are disappointed in Akuffo Addo and Bawumia’s government and have come to painful realization that most of the utopian promises of this government are never intended to be kept as they are referred to it as a monumental betrayal of the trust of the Ghanaian youth.

The youth who are enthusiastic about voting in this year election sees Akuffo Addo and Bawumia’s government as total failure and they does not deserve any chance and need to be voted out massively.

The youth political mantra, a new Ghana that has been a rallying call for the youth and not surprising that they are primary driven by their admiration and fealty for Former president John Dramani Mahama and also united by their disgust with the country’s failing leadership and hope that their vote can contribute to the process of birthing a new Ghana.

The youth have shaken off their complacency and are demonstrating their unwillingness to accept another round of political failings..

Ghanaians noted transformation matters and can have a real impact on the development of democracy.
