Ho, Feb. 18, GNA –
Mr Henry Nana Boakye, National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
has called on members of the Party’s Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) to
help secure victory for the Party during the 2020 general elections.
He said the
intellectual youth wing must provide its share of support to enable the Party
retain power, which included positive education on the upcoming voters register.
Mr Nana Boakye was
addressing members of the National Confederacy of TESCON during an
“Achievement galore procession” in Ho as part of activities to mark
its 20th anniversary celebration.
“The youth has the
huge task of preparing the grounds for victory. The Party is fully prepared and
requires the readiness and commitment of its youth wing to deliver victory in
2020. We are all intellectuals well position to deliver, and we must not
relax,” he said.
He said TESCON had
over the years evolved from a movement into the “most formidable, well
structured, vibrant student based political grouping,” and a strategic
part of the Party’s structure.
He said the current
NPP government had achieved a lot in three years, with special focus on
improving youth absorbent job sectors including teaching, and nursing, whiles
ensuring that educational support benefited all, and therefore deserved another
term in office.
“We have done a lot
in the past three years. Free SHS is celebrated across the globe and lots of
countries coming to Ghana to know and appreciate our model. We have transformed
the economy in many ways, and it is all because we have a visionary President.
“It is why we need
to work hard for the Party and the President to maintain power,” Mr Boakye
said.

celebration is on the theme “20 Years of Commitment Without Inducement: TESCON
Our Generational Pillar”.

Baidoo, National Coordinator of TESCON, said with the support of the Party’s
youth leadership, TESCON would deliver its role in maintaining the NPP in
power.
