Scores of youth organisers from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday, August 13, thronged the party’s headquarters in Accra to pick up flagbearer nomination forms for former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The delegation, made up of constituency and regional youth organisers from across the country, arrived in coordinated NPP-branded attire, chanting slogans and singing patriotic songs as they made their way into the premises.

Speaking to the media, youth organiser Isaac Obeng described the move as both a celebration of young people and a milestone in the party’s political journey.

“Yesterday was International Youth Day, and as youth organisers and deputies from various constituencies, we believe we cannot remain idle in our constituencies without marking this remarkable day,” he said.

Obeng added that their action was more than symbolic. “We are here today to pick the form for our incoming president, Insha Allah, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia. We believe this is a gift to him.”

He stressed the unity and enthusiasm driving the initiative, pointing out that representatives from numerous constituencies had joined forces for the gesture. “You can see here representatives of youth organisers from various constituencies who have come to pick this form, and from here we will move to his residence, his campaign office, where we will officially present the forms to him,” he noted.

Obeng expressed strong confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership, suggesting the moment could herald a new era for Ghana. “We know that, Insha Allah, this day is the day Ghana’s destiny will be rewritten. What the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has done and continues to do shows that the things Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia accomplished as Vice President are exactly what our country needs.”
