The NDC has announced that nominations for its 2026 Regional Executive Elections opened on Tuesday, October 6. In a statement signed by the Deputy General Secretary, Barbara Serwaa Asamoah, the party urged all members intending to contest the various Regional Executive positions to take full advantage of the nomination period. Julius Karl Fieve, a member of the NDC Communications Team, has expressed interest in the Deputy Volta Regional Youth Organiser position.
Mr. Fieve has promised to help build a more formidable NDC across the Volta region if elected. He said, having served as TEIN-KNUST Deputy Secretary, Branch Secretary, two-term elected Assembly Member, and a Constituency Youth Organiser, he believes he has the experience to lead the Volta youth for victory in 2028. His vision for the youth wing includes improving grassroots mobilisation and organisational strength.
The NDC member outlined five pillars to achieve his vision, including improving grassroots mobilisation and organisational strength, youth livelihood and opportunity, engagement with the student and Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN), research, communication and political education, and welfare, unity, and discipline. He aims to establish a Volta Youth Opportunity Information System to provide opportunity and application clinics, skills and enterprise engagements, and a Volta Mentorship Network.
Mr. Fieve's vision also involves deepening the relationship between the Regional Youth Wing and TEIN chapters by creating a TEIN listening platform, political education and leadership development, and a deliberate TEIN-to-party leadership pipeline. He plans to establish a Regional Youth Research and Intelligence Desk, a grassroots feedback system, enhanced political education for the youth, and a communicators' development programme for the digital and broadcast age.
The former Central Tongu Constituency Youth Organiser promised accountability, saying he would ensure that, where commitments are made, the executive body would periodically report on what has been achieved, what remains outstanding, and what requires collective action. He laid out his track record, noting that, under his leadership as Constituency Youth Organiser in Central Tongu, the party's youth were empowered, and the vote in the constituency increased during the 2024 general election.
Mr. Fieve envisions a Volta Youth Wing that is strong from the branch up: organised, connected, and united; where every constituency and every branch feels the presence and support of regional leadership; and where young people are developed as leaders, professionals, and citizens throughout the political cycle. He is a Development Finance Expert and Mastercard Foundation Scholar with extensive exposure to youth development in Ghana and globally.
With his educational background, including an MSc in Africa and International Development from the University of Edinburgh, MSc in Economics from KNUST, and BSc in Actuarial Science from KNUST, Mr. Fieve is confident in his ability to turn his vision for the youth wing into reality. He aims to make the youth wing active twelve months of the year, not only during elections, and to listen to its members, develop young leaders, and connect young people to opportunity.
