As Ghana prepares to head to the polls on December 7 for the Presidential and Parliamentary elections, Ghanaian songstress Cocotrey is using her platform to encourage the youth to vote peacefully and wisely. In a recent interview on Guide Radio, Cocotrey emphasized the importance of choosing leaders who will prioritize the needs and interests of the youth, as they are the future of the country.
According to Cocotrey, it’s crucial for young people to ignore the lies and misinformation that often characterize election campaigns and instead focus on issues that matter to them. She urged the youth to take an active role in shaping their future by voting for leaders who share their vision and values.
Cocotrey’s message is particularly relevant in Ghana, where the youth make up a significant proportion of the population. As the country prepares for elections, it’s essential for young people to recognize the power of their vote and use it to demand better representation and leadership.
As Bernadette Kinlaw notes, “Voting is one of the many privileges of living in a democratic society”. By exercising their right to vote, young people in Ghana can help create a brighter future for themselves and their country.
In addition to voting wisely, it’s also essential for young people to stay informed about the issues that affect them. This includes understanding the policy positions of different candidates, evaluating their track record on issues that matter, and considering their character and integrity.
By taking an active role in the electoral process, young people in Ghana can help create a more just, equitable, and prosperous society for all. As Cocotrey so eloquently put it, “We are the future,” and it’s time for young people to take their rightful place as leaders and change-makers in Ghanaian society.
