The Talensi District Director for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Dorcas Atia, has urged the youth to resist any attempts by extremist and Jihadist groups to engage them in acts that will mar the 2024 general election.

She said that as the country had less than a month to go for the crucial polls, the NCCE and other institutions had picked signals of Islamist groups doing everything possible to recruit young people in border communities in Ghana.

Ms Atia was addressing some select youth activ­ists at Tongo, capital of the Talensi District of the Upper East Region.

The engagement formed part of activities being undertaken by the organisation to calm the 'height­ened political temperature' ahead of the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
