Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, has dismissed reports that he has resigned as the National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), reaffirming that he still holds the position.
Speculation arose following his appointment by President John Dramani Mahama, with claims that he had stepped down from his party role.
However, in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, February 25, Opare Addo clarified his status, stating, “Let me correct an impression, I have not resigned as the National Youth Organiser of the NDC. I’m still the National Youth Organizer of the NDC. We will have Congress next year [2026].
“I don’t intend to contest again at Congress, but I currently serve as the National Youth Organiser of the NDC. I still go to the party office.”
Opare Addo’s dual role as both a government minister and a party official has sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest and whether he can effectively manage both responsibilities.
His decision not to seek re-election in 2026 may signal a shift in focus toward his ministerial duties while opening the door for new leadership within the NDC’s youth wing.
