Former Brong Ahafo Regional Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Michael Osei Boateng, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of deceiving Ghanaian youth with unfulfilled promises, citing unemployment and power challenges as evidence of failed expectations.
Speaking on The Verdict on Starr 103.5 FM on Tuesday, April 29, 2026, Mr. Boateng urged young people to “calm down,” arguing that they had been misled into voting for the NDC based on promises that have not materialised.
“I would tell the youth of this country to calm down, just know that we’re deceived in voting for the NDC,” he said.
According to him, the expectations of improved living conditions and job opportunities have not been met.
“We thought that they were going to give us better lives, we thought that they were going to give us employment opportunities as they promised… but as it is now, we are only getting the doomsaw, we are only getting increased unemployment rates,” he added.

Mr. Boateng further argued that the alternative for leadership and national progress lies with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he described as capable of delivering solutions to the country’s challenges.
“I know that the best person to give us hope, the best person to deliver is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” he stated.
“You know, someone said we have not missed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and he didn’t realise that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has never been a president,” he added.
Mr. Boateng expressed confidence that Dr. Bawumia would make a significant impact if given leadership, adding that his party would “always give the best” in addressing Ghana’s challenges.

He further referenced the immediate past governance period,, including the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic disruptions such as the Russia-Ukraine war, noting their impact on the economy.
According to him, a return of his party[NPP] to power would help address what he described as current difficulties facing the country under the NDC administration.
