Hundreds of constituency and regional youth organisers of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday, August 13, stormed the party’s headquarters in Accra to pick up presidential nomination forms on behalf of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Clad in coordinated NPP-branded attire, the group arrived chanting party slogans and singing patriotic songs before making their way into the party offices.
Speaking to journalists, youth organiser Isaac Obeng described the event as both a celebration of young people and a significant political moment.
“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 stressed that the gesture 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 highlighted the unity of purpose among the youth, noting that representatives from across the country had come together for the occasion. After securing the forms, the group planned to visit Dr Bawumia’s residence and campaign office to officially present them.
“We know that, Insha Allah, this day is the day Ghana’s destiny will be rewritten,” Obeng said, expressing confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership. “What the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has done and continues to do shows that the things Dr Bawumia accomplished as Vice President are exactly what our country needs.”
The move comes a week after, on August 5, a group of NPP Members of Parliament picked nomination forms for presidential hopeful Kennedy Agyapong ahead of the party’s January 31, 2026 presidential primaries.
