Emmanuel Senyo Amekplenu has announced his intention to contest for the position of Volta Regional Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) when nominations are officially opened.
In a declaration of intent, Mr. Amekplenu said his decision followed extensive consultations with party stakeholders, his family, close associates, and party members.
He explained that his decision was motivated by a desire to serve the party rather than personal ambition.
According to him, his experience serving the NPP at the polling station, constituency, and national levels has prepared him for the role at a time when the party is seeking to rebuild ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr. Amekplenu called for a united and determined youth front that would inspire hope, strengthen grassroots mobilisation, and help reposition the NPP for victory.
“Our message is strong. Our record is defensible. What we need now is a united, courageous, and purpose-driven youth front that inspires hope, mobilises the grassroots, and never backs down,” he stated.
He urged party members in the Volta Region to work together to rebuild and strengthen the party’s structures.
According to him, his vision is to re-strategise, re-energise, rebuild, re-organise, and restructure the youth wing through unity, accountability, and inclusive leadership.
Mr. Amekplenu appealed to delegates and party supporters to support his bid with their endorsement, prayers, and advice.
He expressed confidence that, with collective effort, the NPP could strengthen its grassroots base in the Volta Region and position itself for victory in the 2028 general elections.
His campaign is being carried out under the theme, “Arise & Build: A New Dawn for Volta Youth.”

New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications officer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged GH¢55 million case, insisting that no such issue was raised during his detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In a Facebook post after his release from EOCO custody, Mr Aboagye stated that at no point during his detention was he questioned about any GH¢55 million.
“For the records: There was no discussion of any GH¢55 million with me by EOCO. None,” he wrote.
According to him, he was detained for four days, a day after announcing his intention to contest for the position of National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr Aboagye alleged that false narratives were circulated about his arrest but expressed confidence that the truth would eventually prevail.
He thanked NPP supporters who demonstrated and called for his release, saying news of the protests reached him while he was in detention and encouraged him.
Mr Aboagye indicated that the support shown by party faithful strengthened his resolve and reaffirmed his commitment to serve the NPP.
He maintained that his detention had not discouraged him from pursuing his political ambition.
“If the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly,” he stated.
Mr Aboagye expressed appreciation to his legal team, the leadership of the NPP and all supporters who stood by him throughout his detention.
He reiterated his determination to lead the party’s Communications Directorate, declaring that he remained “ready to win” and committed to what he described as the party’s mission to “command the narrative.”

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah has announced that Cabinet has directed the immediate revocation of Executive Instrument (E.I.) 144, as amended by E.I. 234, to restore the original status of the Achimota Forest as a Forest Reserve.
According to the minister, the decision will ensure that the Achimota Forest continues to serve as an ecological safety zone for Accra and surrounding communities.
The minister disclosed the decision as part of the government’s accountability efforts, stating that the revocation is aimed at protecting the forest from activities that could threaten its environmental importance.
He explained that restoring the forest’s original legal status reinforces the government’s commitment to preserving one of the country’s key green spaces.
The Achimota Forest plays an important role in improving air quality, conserving biodiversity and helping to regulate the climate in the Greater Accra Region.
The government believes the move will strengthen environmental protection and safeguard the forest for future generations.
