A former member of the Presidential Staff, Stan Xoese Dogbe, has endorsed John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as the preferred candidate for Ghanaian youth.

Dogbe emphasized the social intervention programs that Mahama intends to implement to assist the youth in becoming self-sufficient.

In a Facebook post, Dogbe stated, "John Dramani Mahama is a trusted leader who has, in the past, implemented several initiatives to empower the youth of Ghana. His Youth Enterprises Support (YES) initiative provided funding, job opportunities, and skills training for many young Ghanaians."

He also highlighted Mahama's plans to introduce other youth-focused programs, such as free vocational, artisanal, skills, and technical training through the National Apprenticeship Programme.

These initiatives are designed to enable young Ghanaians to acquire valuable skills, become self-employed, create job opportunities, and support themselves financially.

Dogbe emphasized Mahama's potential to address critical issues that will benefit the youth, including the promise of a 24-hour economy and significant investments in infrastructure.

He praised Mahama's commitment to youth empowerment, education, and good governance, asserting that Mahama is the better choice for Ghana's future.

Furthermore, Dogbe criticized the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for failing to address youth unemployment and challenges in the education system.

He accused the NPP administration of pervasive corruption and unfulfilled promises to the youth, characterizing President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia as failures in addressing youth-related issues.
