Mathias Alagbo, immediate past Volta Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress, has declared his bid for Deputy National Youth Organiser before delegates at the Regional Conference at Ho Technical University in Ho, framing his campaign as a seasoned call to national duty.
Alagbo told the gathering that his stewardship in Volta was defined by relentless mobilisation across borders, ghettos, studios, streets, and tertiary campuses. He recounted confronting soldiers from the Aflao border corridor to Hohoe, reactivating the party presence on campuses, and leading a team that carried the youth message into spaces where politics rarely reaches with conviction.
His record, as presented to delegates, rests on prolonged apprenticeship and substantive leadership. He served four years as deputy before serving eight years as substantive Regional Youth Organiser, a tenure that spanned twelve years at the forefront of youth organisation in Volta. That trajectory, he argued, forged discipline, networks, and battlefield familiarity that cannot be improvised at the national level.
The declaration carried a distinct spiritual resonance. Alagbo announced that the moment had arrived for the son of man to rise, casting his candidacy not as personal ambition but as a summons to serve a broader cause. The phrase electrified the hall, blending scriptural imagery with the combative language of a party preparing for a decisive contest.
According to Mathias Alagbo, “It is time for the son of man to rise.” He said his decision rests on experience, arguing that the forthcoming general election demands leaders who know how to turn a difficult corner, steady a fractious base, and convert organisation into victory. He warned that complacency, noisy opposition, and shifting polls must not lull the party into trusting novelty over tested competence.
The stakes now extend far beyond Volta. If delegates embrace his message, Alagbo will carry a formidable regional machine into the national youth contest, with a promise of structure, courage, and continuity. If they hesitate, his declaration will still have redrawn the contest, forcing rivals to answer a pointed question: whether the party wants promise, or proof forged through years of frontline service.
