The NDC now looks very sexy with President Mahama’s appointment of Young people in his government. The Young appointees will deliver, especially those in the Ashanti Region – Akua Piesie, Kessben FM’s Journalist
Akua Piesie, a political journalist with Kessben FM has made an intriguing observation about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its recent strategic moves under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.
According to Piesie, Mahama’s decision to appoint a new generation of young, dynamic individuals into key positions in his government has breathed new life into the NDC, making it “look very sexy” in the eyes of the Ghanaian electorate.
For many political analysts, the appointment of young appointees is not just about a symbolic gesture; it is a strategic move to revitalize the party, create a more relatable political atmosphere, and connect with the growing youth demographic in the country. Piesie, in his commentary, strongly believes that these young leaders will deliver on their promises, particularly in critical regions such as the Ashanti Region, where the NDC has traditionally faced strong competition from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
President Mahama’s choice to appoint young people into his government has garnered a great deal of attention. The NDC, in recent years, had been criticized for its leadership being predominantly composed of older figures. However, the recent infusion of youth into the party’s structure suggests a deliberate shift towards a more youthful and progressive image.
Piesie speaking on Kessben FM’s Maakye with KOD pointed out that the NDC now boasts a fresh, vibrant look, driven by the enthusiasm and energy of young appointees who understand the changing political and social landscape of Ghana. These young leaders are not only more in tune with the issues affecting young Ghanaians today, such as unemployment, education, and digital inclusion, but they also possess the innovative mindset needed to address these challenges effectively. The appeal of young leadership is undeniably strong, and Mahama’s decision reflects his awareness of this shift.
While the appointment of young people across the country has been lauded, Piesie emphasizes that the Ashanti Region will play a pivotal role in the NDC’s electoral strategy. Historically, the Ashanti Region has been a stronghold of the NPP, and winning over voters in this region has proven to be a challenging task for the NDC. However, Piesie is optimistic that the young appointees, particularly those from the Ashanti Region, will be key to changing this narrative.
