stressed on the readiness to inaugurate the TESCON-UK which was planned to take place

in April but was called off as a result of the pandemic. The conference formed aresolution for interim executives to visit all the TESCON chapters after the Covid-19

pandemic to encourage and motivate members towards the official inauguration.

Regarding internship packages for members, the conference emphasized the need to

initiate discussions with both private and public agencies on creating internship and

mentorship opportunities for the future brains of the party.

Election 2020 remained a very important item for discussions of which all members were

tasked to avail themselves to the service the party for victory 2020. The National Youth

Organiser (UK branch) who was a major stakeholder in the meeting outlined plans the

NPP-UK has in place for the upcoming election. He entreated members to keep up the

good work to retain the party in power in December, 2020. The Interim Vice President,

Kobby Ofori, reiterated that, members should stay committed and get involved in

delivering a vibrant TESCON that seeks to galvanize young people in the diaspora

towards national development.

The National TESCON Coordinator, Samuel Annobil, who joined the meeting from

Ghana, applauded the vibrancy of TESCON-UK. His report indicated that the Youth

Wing of the NPP under the leadership of Nana Boakye, is working so hard to ensure

massive victory for the party in 2020.

He hinted that the strategy towards the upcoming general elections has changed because

of the pandemic but would be well informed in the coming days about the necessary steps

taken by the National Youth Organizer.

It is worth mentioning that the NPP remains resolute and well composed to raise

pragmatic strategies for all youth groupings within the party in the run-up to the

impending election.
