Member of Parliament for Kwesimintsim Constituency, Hon. Dr. Prince Armah has charged members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy of the New Patriotic Party (TESCON) to commit fully to serving the party ahead of the 2024 elections.

Dr. Prince Armah who also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Education Committee of Parliament was speaking as Guest Speaker at the TESCON of the University of Education, Winneba’s (UEW) general meeting and homecoming event on Saturday April 2nd 2022 under the theme; Mobilising for 2024 Election and Beyond; the Role of TESCON.

The MP, in his speech, reflected on his tenure as Secretary of TESCON-UEW and narrated the critical role the 2004 batch of TESCON-UEW executives played in the NPP’s first parliamentary victory of the Efutu Constituency in the 2004 election.

He reminded the gathering of the founding principles of TESCON and encouraged them to see service as an opportunity rather than a burden.

“Service is not a burden. Service is a privilege to show the world your capabilities. In the absence of service, your capacity is unknown. Service is what gives you a seat at the table.

So, when you receive the call to serve, serve per se, serve as a matter of principle, serve as a matter of self-development, serve to earn your stripes and build legitimacy for any future honours, serve for the love of our great party, and serve for God and country,” Dr. Armah stated.

Throughout Ghana’s Fourth Republic, no political party has successfully served more than two consecutive terms. The homecoming event was therefore geared towards mobilizing young people to achieve this unprecedented feat.

Speaking to the gathering Dr Prince Armah stated that he was optimistic of his party’s chances in 2024, owing to the tremendous work the NPP government has done over the past five years.

He however warned that the party’s youth was critical to a landmark victory in 2024. He therefore charged them to seize the moment and make history.

“2024 will be your moment, a time to write your names into the history books of our great party. The 2024 election is an opportunity to re-write the political trends of the Fourth Republic by Breaking the Eight. This attainment will be unprecedented and cement our party’s place as the best organised electioneering machine in the country.

To attain this milestone for our great party, the effort from our youth wing would be most critical. Commitment without inducement has to be lived as a daily principle. You must exhibit readiness to serve as a matter of self-development,” he charged.

The homecoming event was also graced by NPP stalwarts such as the Deputy Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Efutu Constituency, Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the National Youth Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, National Youth Organiser for the NPP, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, former MP for Mfantsiman Constituency and Anthony Paa Kwesi Sackey, the Central Regional Youth Organiser of the NPP.
