Is campus politics a reflection of our national politics

 Zeinab Denderi In 2018, Zainab Denderi and UDS Nyankpala campus made history together when She was elected as the first female SRC president of the school.

The win most people saw as a win for women in politics and also to generate a new form of political participation that will transcend from the schools to the nation.

Speaking in the studios of Sanatu Zambang, Zainab said she did not play the gender card to stand for the election.

” me going in for the SRC President, I did not see myself as a woman. I came with a different mindset and that is what set me apart from the other candidates. I use campus elections to try myself  if I can handle the one ahead and I would have done so bad if I had not done this'' - Zeinab Denderi 

 ”You have no right to begrudge anyone for not buying into your idea. It is all about you. If people did not vote for you then you did not do well. And nobody can sell your message better than you.” Zeinab Denderi 


 


The parliamentary elections are fast changing in Ghana. Now, young people are taking the chance to contest the older folks to give voice to the youth.

One person who took the bold decision to contest in Kunbungu Parliamentary seat for NPP is Abdul Rauf. Though he did not emerge as the winner, he says he is not relenting on that quest. He has an agenda and it is the Youth movement agenda.

According to Abdul Rauf, his intention for contesting that seat was ”to inspire my colleagues that, we are capable of anything. This is our generation and you cannot change the system if you are not part of the system”.

”That is why we came out with the movement, the youth agenda, it is an agenda that we are establishing to inspire the youth to make them feel part of the system to be given the opportunity to add their voice to the national quota and that is what we are trying to do” - Abdul Rauf
