NDC National Youth Working Committee Chairman vows to reclaim Bimbilla seat for 2028

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Youth Working Committee Chairman Okai Mintah has pledged to bring the Bimbilla parliamentary seat back under the party's control ahead of the 2028 general elections. Mintah stressed that a robust grassroots structure and persistent mobilisation of young people would be key in the NDC's strategy to defeat the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the constituency.

Speaking to branch youth organisers in Bimbilla, Mintah affirmed that the party's Youth Wing would ramp up its interaction with young voters and reinforce its presence at the branch level. He stressed that youth constitute a crucial force in Ghana's electoral politics and should be accorded a central role in the party's grassroots organisation and mobilisation.

The Bimbilla seat has been a competitive one, with the NPP holding it since the 2024 parliamentary election where NPP candidate Dominic Nitiwul received 54.08% of the votes compared to the NDC's 45.92%. Mintah pointed out that the narrow margin in the recent election indicated that the NDC is still in a position to regain the seat with better organisation and mobilisation.

The Municipal Chief Executive for Nanumba North, Abdul Samed Hamza, also backed Mintah's call for stronger grassroots organization, praising the NDC's improved performance in the constituency as a foundation for further progress before the 2028 polls. He urged the youth organisers to stay disciplined and focused while working towards strengthening the party's structures.

Mintah revealed that his proposed approach to youth mobilisation would extend beyond just election-year activities, aiming to maintain continuous engagement with young people throughout the political cycle. He stressed that empowering branch-level structures and keeping young party members actively involved will be vital in building a robust electoral base for the NDC.
