An electric atmosphere it was at the NDC manifesto launch, where hundreds of youth gathered, eager to hear the party's plans for their future. Dressed in party paraphernalia, they expressed high expectations, ahead of the launch. For most youth, their main problem was unemployment. "The bottom line for me or the youth is simple job creation, because as a tertiary student, there's hope that after you finish school there's a job waiting for you, so that you can also start your life as a youth growing in the country, and make it to the top, but then you see a statistical increase of graduates that are unemployed every year and it's so appalling," one said. Another party supporter explained, "what the youth need right now are jobs, look at the nurses running out of this country because there are no jobs and recently, we heard they are coming to employ over 15,000 people. But we have batches that have not been employed since they took power." "Presently in Ghana, there are high levels of unemployment, there is high inflation, imagine you have no work, and you still have to buy goods at a very high rate," another said.
