In a bid to assist young voters during the limited registration exercise, Mr. Benjamin Quashie, Chairman of the South African National Democratic Congress (NDC) Council of Elders, has taken a philanthropic step by donating cash. The funds are earmarked to aid with the transportation and refreshment needs of young individuals residing in specific areas of Ayawaso Central who are gearing up to obtain their voter identification (ID) cards.
The limited registration process is of paramount importance to eligible citizens, especially the youth, as it grants them access to their voter ID cards, an essential prerequisite for participation in Ghana’s democratic processes, including upcoming elections.
Mr. Quashie’s act of generosity underscores the significance of bolstering and nurturing youth involvement in the democratic arena. By extending financial support to alleviate the logistical hurdles faced by young prospective voters, he underscores his unwavering commitment to fostering political engagement among Ghana’s youth.
Furthermore, the event provided a platform for Bridget Bonnie and the 18 Plus 4 NDC team, to share valuable insights regarding the mobilization of young individuals. Though the limited registration process may present logistical complexities, Mr. Quashie’s donation and Bridget Bonnie’s involvement serve as inspiring examples of the concerted efforts being made to surmount these challenges. Their actions reiterate the belief that with determination and support, young Ghanaians can play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s future.
As the limited registration period unfolds, the contributions of individuals like Mr. Quashie and the leadership exemplified by Bridget Bonnie offer hope and encouragement to the nation’s youth. These endeavors reaffirm the notion that every citizen’s voice is integral and that their participation constitutes a fundamental cornerstone of a robust and dynamic democracy.
