George Krobea Asante, the Deputy Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has passionately urged members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) to be the driving force behind the party’s resurgence in the upcoming general elections, as reported by Adomonline.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of TESCON executives at Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU), Mr. Asante emphasized the pivotal role student activists play in shaping the party’s future.
He called on TESCON members across various campuses to proactively communicate the party’s vision, assuring them of his unwavering support in providing training and guidance to those willing to step up.
Mr. Asante also charged the newly inducted executives to embark on an aggressive membership drive and establish a comprehensive database of all TESCON members.
He cited prominent figures such as Bantama MP Francis Asenso Boakye, former Sports Minister Isaac Kwame Asiamah, Damango MP Samuel Abu Jinapor, Akuapem North MP Sammy Awuku, NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, NPP Organiser Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), and Nhyiaeso MP Stephen Amoah as shining examples of former TESCON members who have risen to key positions within the party and government.
In a gesture of support, Mr. Asante contributed an undisclosed amount to the GCTU TESCON and expressed gratitude to all participants.
He urged them to brace themselves for the crucial tasks ahead, stressing that their dedication and hard work would be central to securing victory for the NPP.
Furthermore, Mr. Asante has consistently highlighted the need for the NPP leadership to support and rebrand TESCON to make it more attractive, thereby motivating members to undertake vigorous political campaigns at the grassroots level.
He has pledged his commitment to providing support to various TESCON branches, encouraging members to guard against complacency and actively engage with the voting population to explain government policies and social intervention programs.
