NPP Youths Protest Against Leaders

Kumasi Dec. 31, GNA - New Patriotic Party (NPP) youths on Wednesday took to the streets of Kumasi to protest against 'the incompetence of their Leaders' that had brought them to the verge of losing power to National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Speaking to the GNA, some of them said they were protesting against what they described as the incompetence, apathy and lack of tenacity on the part of their Leaders, resulting in the apparent loss of power. The march was scheduled to end at the Regional Co-ordinating Council (RCC) where the youth would submit a petition to Mr Emmanuel Asamoah Owusu-Ansah, the Ashanti Regional Minister.

According to the protesters, the Leadership of the party ignored early warning signs about the possibility of the opposition NDC wresting power from them.

With most of them clad in party colours, the charged youth started the march from Buokrom and marched along the principal streets while other sympathizers joined them at various points along the route.
