Desperation for change: Ghana’s Youth and politics

Dr. Noris Bekoe URO KNUST

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In Ghana, a troubling trend has emerged among our youth: a growing disinterest in meaningful work, driven by the harsh reality of persistently low wages. Many have watched their parents toil for years, only to struggle to meet basic needs like decent clothing and housing.

This disillusionment has led to a perception that politics represents the ultimate escape—a career path where winning elections translates to luxury mansions, the latest cars, and seemingly perfect lives.

Consequently, politics has become a battleground, fueling a dangerous mindset where individuals are willing to resort to violence for power. The recent violent takeovers of state agencies, brutal attacks on dissenting elders and religious leaders, and the sabotage of public assets are stark indicators of deep-rooted frustration and hostility within our political landscape.

This desperation isn’t confined to the youth; it resonates throughout our political class as well. From aggressive in-fighting during campaigns to the dissemination of blatant propaganda, desperation drives a toxic environment where truth is sacrificed for votes. Young people, too easily swayed by such deceitful narratives, find their hopes dashed once the fervor subsides.

As we witnessed in the tumultuous 2024 elections, after the dust settles, excuses abound. But let me be clear: the youth are impatient and determined. They demand competent governance; mediocrity will simply not be tolerated.
