Patrick Kwesi Afeavo Declares Bold Vision for NDC Youth Wing in Volta Region
Patrick Kwesi Afeavo, a grassroots organiser and youth activist, has officially declared his candidacy for the position of Deputy Volta Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His announcement signals a fresh wave of youth-led leadership focused on service, empowerment, and building strong political structures across the region.
Who is Patrick Kwesi Afeavo?
Afeavo is a seasoned party communicator and grassroots organiser with a track record spanning multiple levels of the NDC's youth structures. He has served as a Branch Youth Organizer, a two-term TEIN President, and has worked closely with both the National Youth Wing and regional party structures. This diverse experience, he says, has given him a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing young people in the Volta Region.
“From the branch to TEIN, from the regional structures to the National Youth Wing, my journey has prepared me for this moment of service,” Afeavo stated.
What is Afeavo's Vision for the NDC Youth Wing?
His vision is to build a youth wing that is “united in purpose, organised in action, and empowered for the future.” He believes the Deputy Regional Youth Organizer must be accessible to constituency and branch-level structures, working closely with youth leadership to strengthen coordination across all 18 constituencies in the Volta Region.
“I seek to contribute to building a youth wing that is stronger, more organised, more united, more inclusive, and responsive to the needs of our young people,” he said.
Concrete Plans for Grassroots Empowerment
At the heart of Afeavo's agenda is a commitment to strengthening youth structures at the constituency level. He has proposed the establishment of Youth Secretariats across all 18 constituencies, backed by a Volta Regional Youth Wing Fund. Under his plan, every constituency youth wing secretariat would receive GHS 10,000 in financial support, alongside initiatives to improve the capacity and welfare of youth leaders.
His programme also prioritises capacity building, with scholarship opportunities for constituency youth leaders, annual workshops, and quarterly training sessions during election years. These initiatives are designed to equip young leaders with the skills needed for effective political organisation and mobilisation.
A Campaign Built on Service and Unity
Afeavo is positioning himself as a candidate with experience spanning the branch, constituency, TEIN, regional, and national levels of the party. His campaign will focus on grassroots engagement and direct interaction with youth leaders and delegates across the region.
“I am ready to work. I am ready to listen. I am ready to organise. Above all, I am ready to serve,” Afeavo declared.
His approach is centred on collective effort rather than personality, with the campaign slogan, “A new servant emerges,” reflecting his commitment to leadership through service. As the race for the Deputy Volta Regional Youth Organizer position takes shape, Afeavo's declaration adds a compelling voice to the conversation on the future direction of the NDC youth wing in the region.
