When Kufour Swore in Asenso Boakye As TESCON President 23 Years Ago

Today, exactly 23 years ago, then-candidate John Agyekum Kufuor attended a TESCON event to swear in Chief Asenso Boakye as the first President of the confederacy.

Tertiary Students Confederacy, or TESCON, is the student branch of Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP), which was founded on January 8, 2000.

Since it started, TESCON has been one of the most important parts of the NPP's student and political activism and grass-roots mobilization.

Hon. Chief Asenso Boakye, who was the first President of TESCON, is now a Member of Parliament for the Bantama Constituency in Ghana's Ashanti Region.

Before that, he was the Deputy Chief of Staff and Political Assistant to President of the Republic of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

He is the Minister for Works and Housing at the moment.
