As Ghana prepares for its general elections, prospective university students, many of whom are first-time voters, are making their voices heard.
These students are prioritising educational policies outlined in the manifestoes of various political parties, rather than just their promises.
For students like Blessing, access to quality education and affordability are top priorities. They want to see concrete plans from candidates to address these issues.
Nana, another student, is looking for a candidate who will cater to the needs of students with disabilities. This highlights the importance of inclusivity in education.
Fantasia, a prospective voter, emphasised that she won't be swayed by party affiliation alone. Instead, she's looking for a candidate who shares her values and vision for the future.
These students, and many like them, will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the elections.
Their votes will be a testament to the power of the youth in shaping Ghana's future. As the country heads to the polls, one thing is clear: the next generation of leaders is eager to make their mark.
As the elections approach, it is essential for candidates to listen to the concerns of prospective university students. By addressing their needs and priorities, candidates can win over the hearts and minds of these young voters. The future of Ghana depends on it.
