With almost 40% of Deltans between the ages of 15 and 39, their recognition of the democratic power they hold has undoubtedly increased.
As the Peoples’ Democratic Party , congress approaches in Delta State, conventional political pundits might expect a waning of youth participation. However, recent news reports suggest otherwise, highlighting the rise of get-out-the-vote social media groups and youth-friendly campaign technologies. These measures point toward a potential democratic renewal in Delta State.
According to them, it is time for a new generation of leaders to step up and take the reins. Delta State PDP needs a chairman who can serve as a bridge between the old and the young and who can simply understand the needs and concerns of young people and work to address them. Together, the young and old can build a brighter future for Delta State.
Increased youth participation in the discourse and campaigns leading up to the last elections can be attributed to socio-economic problems, including high youth unemployment and incessant university strikes. Young people made up around 76% of newly registered voters, with 40% of that number identifying as students.
Delta youth are leading the charge in demanding accountability and playing a significant part in the maturing of Nigeria’s democracy. Any attempts by political elites to cede the State Party Chairmanship position to the old brigades would be counterproductive. Let’s not forget the millions of Delta youth in rural areas whose voices are seldom heard. Recognizing and strengthening the role of Delta’s youth in its democracy requires holistic measures that leave no segment of the population behind.
