Kumasi, Jan. 4, GNA - The Ashanti Regional Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed total support and confidence in the Regional Minister, Dr Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah.

This comes amidst the demand by a group calling itself "NDC Ba' Shakkah National Movement" that the Minister resigns his position by the middle of the month.

The party's youth in a statement signed jointly by the Regional Organizer, Anthony Kwaku Boahen, and his two Deputies, Bashiru Amissah, and Asiedu Keteke, said they were happy with the performance of Dr Agyemang-Mensah.

They profusely denied the existence of any such movement in the Party and said the motives of those behind it were less than honourable.
