Henry Quartey addressing the gathering
THE
ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has inaugurated the youth wing of the Ayawaso
Central Constituency of the party.
Held
at Atta Nii’s Place in Kokomlemle, Accra on Sunday, November 17, the ceremony
had in attendance some executives and bigwigs of the party who took turns to
commend the Ayawaso Central arm of the party for their hard work over the years
and urged them to put in their best to ensure that President Akufo-Addo retains
power in the 2020 general elections.
Youth
Wing
In
his address, the NPP Ayawaso Central Youth Organizer, Stephen Mensah, popularly
known as Paa, expressed gratitude to the national executives of the party for
the support his team has enjoyed over the years.
Mr.
Mensah iterated that following the landslide victory of the Member of
Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso Central, Henry Quartey, in the 2016 elections where he beat his
opponent with over 6,000 votes, his team had resolved to help strengthen the
victory of the party with a greater margin by a 10,000-vote difference in the
2020 elections.
This,
he disclosed, would be achieved by targeting all youths, particularly fresh
voters in the constituency in order to win them over so to increase the electoral
fortunes of the party at next year’s polls.
He
also added that since taking up the mantle of leadership in 2017, the numbers
had increased more than 100 per cent.
Achieving
Operation 10,000 Difference.
The
MP for Ayawaso Central Constituency, Henry Quartey in advising the youth wing
on how to achieve operation 10,000, tasked all polling station executives to do
what he called the “9 + 1”
project.
Under
this project, each polling executive as well as executive member of the youth
arm in the constituency only has to ensure he or she speaks to and wins over at
least nine persons to the party.
This,
he noted, was good foundation for the party to achieve its set goal of
operation 10,000 votes.
Dignitaries
The ceremony was
characterized by pomp and jamboree as hundreds of party faithful turned out in
their numbers.
In attendance were
Sammi Awuku, National Organizer; Nana B, National Youth Organizer who also
formally inaugurated the youth wing; Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central; Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, Deputy Minister
for Transport, Patrick Boamah, MP for Okaikwei
Central Constituency and Moses Abor, Regional Organizer of
the NPP.
Party executives and members from other constituencies were also present in the ceremony.
