According to YIAGA, one of the concert’s partners, 200 volunteers have been trained in preparation for the big day.
“Our cohort of young volunteers will play critical roles of voter education evangelists, speaking to everyone, especially peers, about the importance of engaging in the electoral process,” according to the platform.
While Peterside encourages youth participation in politics, adults are not excluded. Following the announcement of his decision to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Twitter, he also said that, “It is important for all adults to join a political party of their choice.”
