Managing Election- Relation Violence for Democratic Stability in Ghana increased visibility of political youth groups. Some of these are, however, not solidly established and are formed on an ad-hoc basis. It must be noted that young people do not just operate on the sidelines of political parties or work to support electioneering activities. They have become an integral part of government and political party activities. Soon after winning the 2008 elections, President John Evans Atta Mills appointed a number of relatively young people into his government, with some getting deputy ministerial positions. Some were individuals who played active roles in the election campaign activities of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) and of the then candidate Mills during the 2008 elections. The role of young people in the Mills government has, however, been criticized by some Ghanaians who believe that such young persons are inexperienced and incompetent. In a society where older people are typically associated with wisdom, knowledge and experience, and the young with exuberance and adventure, appointing young people into government may be hard to accept for some people. Much, however, may depend on the performance of the few young persons who have already been given the opportunity to serve in government. It is significant to note that many of these young persons have survived the various reshuffles made by President Mills since their appointment some three years ago. It is also significant that the 2012 campaign team of the main opposition New Patriotic Party(NPP) and its flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo have taken on some relatively young adults who are serving in various positions in the campaign team. 317
