A former Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Kwadjo Afari Gyan wants the youth to be responsible in their actions before, during and after the 2020 general elections.
According to him, well thought through deeds of the youth on the African continent can impact immensely in development.
Speaking at the African Leaders’ debate series organised by the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) in Accra, Dr. Afari Gyan said the development of the youth may be hampered if they partake in certain activities ahead and after the elections without considering the consequences.
“If you can take your responsibilities seriously and act properly, a lot of things will change in Africa. But if we behave like everybody else; the election is just a ritual every four years, without thinking of the meaning of an act that we are involved in, then things are not going to change as we expect,” he said.
