A National Youth Organiser aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kamal-Deen Abdulai has stated that he will out perform the incumbent National Youth Organiser of the party, Sammy Awuku if voted for the position.

According to the Nasara Coordinator of the party, despite the successes chalked by the party under the current executives of the party including the incumbent in the position he’s contesting, there’s more room for improvement.

While commending Sammy Awuku for his efforts in the last elections which saw the NPP come into power and claim most of the seats in Parliament, he added that the party needs a more unorthodox approach in order to consolidate the gains it made in the previous election.

“Sammy has done a very good job. Just as [I] can also pride myself on having done a good job as Nasara Coordinator, I think that all executives who helped in making sure we got power did very well. With the youth wing, we still have a lot more to do. Without a doubt, Sammy will go down in our records as one of the best Youth Organisers to serve, and I have no doubt about that but there’s always more room for improvement.

We need to get people who will think out of the box to ensure that they will come out with ideas that will strengthen the party. Grassroots politics is what is important for us right now. We shouldn’t allow the NDC alone to embark on populism, we can do a lot with populism.”


It is unclear whether Sammy Awuku intends to remain in the position, with suggestions that he has designs on the party’s National Organizer position.

The Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Nana Boakye; incumbent Deputy National Youth Organizer of the NPP, Dominic Kwasi Eduah, and Kamal-Deen, who is the incumbent Nasara Coordinator of the party have been touted as the major challengers for the position.
