The Global Youth Parliament (GYP) West Coast Region chapter on 30th January 2021 conducted congress to elect parliamentarians for various constituencies as well as board members within the region. After presentation of manifestos by various contestants, voting was done by the delegates to form the executive. 

Speaking at the event, the country coordinator of GYP Baba Ceesay alias Balance advised the newly elected parliamentarians to uphold the virtues of the organization including honesty and integrity at all times. He urged them to prepare themselves for the upcoming parliamentary elections saying “we will support and endorse anyone who wishes to contest any position in the next parliamentary elections.”

“It is time to stop the talk and work the talk.” Ceesay asserted while adding that plans are afoot to have the youth parliamentarians seated at the national assembly side-by-side with the PM to effect the change desired.
