Michael Osei Boateng, affectionately called Pope has filed his nomination on the 15th of June 2022 to contest to become the National Youth Organiser for the New Patriotic Party.
Earlier this month, the party opened nomination for eligible party members to file nomination to contest for various portfolios within the party’s National Executive Committee.
Mr. Osei Boateng has held many positions within the NPP. In his young political life, he has served as deputy regional youth organiser, regional youth organiser for then Brong Ahafo region, and regional organiser for the Bono region.
He is currently the regional director of YEA in the region.
He comes face to face with his closest contender, Salaam Mustapha whose candidacy many see as problematic for the vice president, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia’s chances of becoming the party’s flag-bearer.
In an article written by a party activist Alhajj Suleman, who doubles as the deputy director of communication for NPP in Germany, he argued that Salaam Mustafa’s addition to a future national executive committee of the party, will not add anything to the chances of Dr Bawumia should both become national youth organiser and flag-bearer respectively.
Many other known faces within the party have equally filed to contest various positions.
Amongst them is John Boadu who is seeking to be retained as the General Secretary, a position many pandits believe he is well-positioned to win.
The national delegates conference is slated for 15th – 17th July 2022.
