Former Member of Parliament for Dormaa East, Paul Apreku Twum-Barimah, has called on members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) and youth organisers across the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo regions to intensify grassroots mobilisation efforts toward securing victory for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 general elections.

Addressing a high-level meeting of TESCON executives and youth organisers within the party’s Bono bloc, Twum-Barimah urged them to focus relentlessly on grassroots strength, discipline and strategic mobilisation.

He stressed that the party’s electoral success will largely depend on the effectiveness, organisation, and visibility of its youth-driven structures at the grassroots level.

“Dear TESCON and wonderful youth, I urge you to win the base and win 2028 for Bawumia. If we are serious about victory, then our focus must be clear strengthen the base, empower our youth, and deepen our connection with the people. Elections are won at the grassroots,” he stated.

He emphasised that electoral victories are secured through consistent engagement at the community level, not sporadic activity during campaign seasons.

He charged the youth to build active polling station networks, deepen voter relationships, and maintain a constant presence in their constituencies.

Twum-Barimah further stressed that discipline and message cohesion must define their operations, warning that fragmented efforts and inconsistency could undermine the party’s prospects.

He called for a results-oriented approach anchored on data, coordination, and clear communication, noting that a well-organised grassroots machinery powered by committed and well-trained youth remains the surest pathway to securing a decisive victory in 2028.

He underscored the central role of the youth in the party’s electoral fortunes, noting that no political organisation can succeed without a vibrant, disciplined and ideologically grounded youth front.

“The strength of any political party lies in the capacity, discipline, and commitment of its youth wing. If we are serious about 2028, then we must be deliberate in building from the base. That is where elections are won or lost,” he added.

Twum-Barimah urged TESCON members and youth organisers to move beyond mere partisan activism and invest in personal development, leadership training and political education.

“Effective political participation must be grounded in knowledge, discipline, and a clear understanding of our ideological direction. You must prepare yourselves not just as campaigners, but as future leaders who can sustain the vision of the party,” he told the youth.

The meeting brought together key youth actors from the party’s stronghold regions and served as a platform for dialogue, mentorship and strategic reflection on the role of young people in shaping the future of the NPP. Participants engaged extensively with the former legislator on issues of party organisation, governance, political communication, and grassroots engagement.

Twum-Barimah also used the occasion to call on TESCON members and youth organisers to rally behind the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and work tirelessly toward securing a decisive mandate in 2028.

“A united front behind our flagbearer is critical. We must deliver a resounding victory that will not only strengthen the party but also provide the leadership needed to move Ghana forward,” he stated.

He noted that the 2028 elections would be pivotal to the country’s economic recovery and long-term stability.

“We must approach 2028 with a sense of urgency and purpose. The work starts now, and it starts with you—the youth. Win the base, and we will win the future,” he reiterated.
