NPP constituency youth organisers in Accra have not endorsed Bawumia - Youth Organisers

A group of all the constituency youth organisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Greater Accra Region have disassociated themselves from the decision of their regional youth organiser, Moses Abor, to openly declare support for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Making this known through a statement signed by the constituency youth organisers, they said that the decision of their regional executive was not one derived through a consensus.

“His decision is a sole decision and must be seen as such. We will like to state with no fear and favour as follows; that there was no consensus made between the Youth Wing and the Regional Youth Organizer to openly declare support for DMB,” the statement said.

The Greater Accra Region Youth Organizers also explained that while they are eager to Break the 8 with the NPP in Ghana’s political history, they do not think this is the way to go.

They added that it is early days yet, and against the party’s rules and regulations for their regional boss to be openly declaring support for the vice president.

The group further noted that they are of the view that the regional youth organiser is only doing this for his own interest.

“That the party has a crucial election in 2024, and the youth wing wants to break the eight even more than anyone else.

“However, our regional boss should tread cautiously and not do things that will foil our chances and jeopardize the future of the Youth Front.

“We believe that openly declaring support for any candidate is not good for the party at this moment and we wish to state emphatically that Hon. Moses Abor is doing this for his own personal interest and not for the Youth Wing,” the statement added.
