Mr. Stephen Harper, the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada, says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is undoubtedly the most liberal and democratic society in Africa.
He explained that the NPP has promoted the concept of free elections, the rule of law, the market for growth, and free trade of Continental trade in Africa.
"Since the inception of the Fourth Republic, Ghana has become a unique and exemplary model for Africa in line with the international model of freedom and justice.
"Ghana is a free, secure, prosperous, and prosperous democratic party, especially under the NPP," he said.
Mr. Harper made the remarks in a public address in Accra by the Young Democrat Union of Africa (YDUA) entitled: "Democracy and National Politics: A Global Vision for a Transformation of International Order."
He said political parties are the infrastructure that is the backbone of democracy, as, apart from political parties, democracy is just an idea; he added that strong political parties are turning into broader parties and turning ideas into a forum and policies and the NPP does just that.
"Every living democracy has a strong right-wing group which is a strong conservatism group which is undoubtedly a philosophical democracy," he said.
Mr. Harper, who is also chairman of the International Democratic Union (IDU), said the IDU was a single
YDUA was instrumental in the development of political parties around the world.
He said Ghana adhered to the type of law that the IDU was established to protect and promote.
“The YDUA event is one of the examples of the revitalization of the Democratic Union Africa (DUA) that has been evident for the past seven years and Ghana's contribution to that renewal and the rest of the world should come as no surprise that Ghana plays a major role in Africa. , "he said.
According to Prime Minister Harper, as the first country to achieve independence in Sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana has been acting like an African Model since the days of Dr. Kwame Nkurmah, Ghana's First Prime Minister.
He acknowledged that the concept of democracy had been challenged in recent years by technological and social changes, most notably the Internet, smartphones, and social media platforms that revealed the true complexity of the political community.
"Also, unwavering mistakes in public policy in western countries in recent years deprive active and middle-class citizens of some opportunities for past generations," he said.
Mr. Harper noted that the challenges of a democratic society were small and could easily be addressed through public debates, real changes in government, and public policy.
“We are indeed on the path to change and what will be the key if society produces a new generation of leaders. Leaders who will apply the correct and true principles of consistent social policy and the challenges of our era, ”he said.
He, therefore, challenged African leaders to inspire the youth to continue the challenges and to be free when the times are difficult and the challenges will be greater, however, a free and democratic society is what the common people wanted when they voted.
Madam Louisa Atta-Agyemang, President of YDUA, said that although there were various failed states, the central culture has led Ghana for more than two decades.
He said time and space had been given to build a series of tools that provided education, knowledge, and information necessary for the development and urged leaders to be reminded that their next political decision would affect the poor and disadvantaged in society.
"Let us be led, remembering that we have a continent that we will build with a clear political side," he said.
He emphasized that politics in the middle right was the best way to build Africa.
Dr. Holger Dix, Director of the Regional Program Political Dialogue for Sub-Saharan Africa, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, said the center was currently at risk following the Ukraine-Russia unrest and that posed several threats to Africa, especially when European-African relations were to be be be tested.
Dr. Dix said the dialogue was timely to discuss the ongoing political dialogue with Africa and within.
Ms. Akosua Frema Opare-Osei, Head of Labor, Presidency, said the NPP ensured that IDU values ??were passed on to the next generation of leaders through YDUA. "In this regard, the capacity of African youth in democracy and the rule of law is built on the means to which this study applies," he said.
Mr. Henry Nana Boakye, National Youth Co-ordinator, NPP, called for youth to develop skills to initiate a global youth dialogue.
He pledged to continue the NPP's commitment to playing the role of representing a successful democratic process.
Mr. John Boadu, Secretary-General, NPP and Deputy Chairperson, DUA, commended the organizers of the theme saying democracy and central rights policies are at the heart of the union.
Economic inequality, the involvement of young people in politics, and the older generation advising young people to take the lead were some of the key discussions the open forum focused on.
