Adongo Richmond Nsopika, an aspirant for the position of Deputy Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Bongo Constituency, has expressed his ambition to not only occupy the position but also to undertake the responsibilities and work associated with the office. He made this statement after filing his nomination for the position. Mr. Nsopika's decision to contest was driven by the need to strengthen the participation and opportunities available to polling station youth organisers within the constituency.
According to Mr. Nsopika, polling station youth organisers have over the years been overlooked when opportunities arise, despite their important role in mobilising and sustaining the party at the grassroots. He believes that the strength of the NDC at the constituency level depends significantly on an active and motivated grassroots base, particularly its youth organisers who engage directly with party members and communities. This, he says, is a critical area that needs attention.
Mr. Nsopika's campaign will focus on practical work and creating stronger links between the constituency leadership and polling station youth organisers. He aims to help change the narrative by ensuring that young people who work at the polling station level are given greater attention, recognition, and opportunities to contribute to the development of the party. This approach, he believes, will enhance the party's performance at the grassroots level.
Prior to his decision to contest for the Deputy Youth Organiser position, Mr. Nsopika has been serving as the Youth Organiser at his polling station, a role through which he has gained experience in grassroots mobilisation and youth engagement within the NDC. His experience in this role has equipped him with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively engage with and mobilise young people at the grassroots level.
Mr. Nsopika has since successfully undergone the vetting process ahead of the constituency elections and, following the balloting process, secured number 2 on the ballot paper. This development has positioned him as a strong contender for the position, and his campaign is expected to focus on his vision for strengthening the party's grassroots base.
The NDC constituency elections are expected to be a critical moment for the party, as it seeks to strengthen its base ahead of future elections.

Mr. Nsopika's campaign is expected to resonate with young people within the constituency.
