The wife of the Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Samira Bawumia has called on the youth to actively participate in Ghana’s political discourse to enable them make prudent decisions in choosing their leaders.
According to Mrs. Bawumia, a lot of young people shy away from politics; an attitude she said must changed saying, “young people should care about what’s happening; they should care about elections, they should care about politics. A lot of people don’t want to be involved because it is tough out there, but it is not about frontline politics."
She made this call during the official launch of the NPP flagbearer’s Electronic campaign on Sunday at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan ICT Centre of Excellence.
Addressing the gathering at the launch, Samira Bawumia noted that politics is about a consciousness and decision making based on information, “decision making that will affect your futures and that is what we are calling on all young people to use this platform to do, so that we can make the decisions that will inform what our future will be. The choices we’ll make today will determine our future so we have to ensure we make a right choice and then secure a good future for each other”.
