Gushegu Constituency Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress, Kanayo Abdul Gafaru Seidu-Dambu, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of Northern Regional Youth Organizer of the NDC.
Mr. Kanayo says his decision is driven by a desire to strengthen the party’s youth wing, promote unity and empower young people across the Northern Region.
Declaring his intention to contest, Kanayo AbdulGafaru Seidu-Dambu described his bid as a call to service rather than personal ambition.
He said his years of active participation in the NDC, coupled with grassroots engagement and leadership experience, have equipped him with the skills needed to lead the party’s youth wing at the regional level.
Kanayo has served the party in various capacities, including as a serial caller of the NDC, Branch Secretary of Gushegu M/A JHS, TEIN Treasurer, Vice President and President at Tamale Polytechnic.
He has also served as Constituency Director of Elections for Gushegu, a member of the NDC Northern Regional Communications Team, Constituency Youth Organizer for Gushegu, and Spokesperson for the Northern Region Constituency Youth Organizers Caucus.
He says these positions have provided him with practical experience in grassroots organization, political communication, electoral administration and youth mobilization.
According to Kanayo, his vision is to build a stronger, united, vibrant and empowered youth wing capable of actively contributing to the growth and electoral fortunes of the NDC.
He says, if given the mandate, he will prioritize listening to the concerns of young people, strengthening grassroots structures, promoting unity and creating opportunities for youth participation in the affairs of the party.
Kanayo is therefore appealing to delegates across the Northern Region to support his bid as he seeks to lead the regional youth wing.
