Election 2024:Ghana does not seek retirees in our political space. – Apea-Danquah

Written by on June 12, 2024

Samuel Apea-Danquah, the flagbearer of Yellow Ghana, has criticized the older presidential candidates vying for power in the upcoming December polls. He argues that Ghana requires vibrant and energetic young leaders to propel the country forward.

Apea-Danquah emphasizes the need for fresh perspectives and dynamic leadership, rather than relying on retired individuals who may lack the vitality to make effective decisions.

During an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face, Apea-Danquah expressed doubts about the ability of older leaders to bring about meaningful change, stating that they are unlikely to contribute positively to the country’s development.

He also took the opportunity to explain the significance of his campaign emblem, which symbolises positivity and his commitment to bringing about constructive progress in Ghana.

“The youth of Ghana being the anchor in a region of positivity would stabilise this country. That’s all it is. We don’t need all these retirees who are playing into our political space. They will do nothing for us. They will do absolutely nothing for us.

“But strangely, in this country…When you’re 60 years old, you are taken and given the opportunity to become president of Ghana. All the frontrunners, Alan Kyerematen, former President Mahama, and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, are over 60 years old, what are they doing here?

“There has not been a consequential leader in Ghana who is over 60 years, none.”
