By King Amoah As the December 7 elections draw near, supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Central Region are rallying together to urge voters to reject Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Their sentiments reflect a growing discontent regarding the perceived lack of meaningful infrastructure development and socio-economic progress in the region during the NPP’s tenure.
Central Region, rich in history and resources, has long been a vital part of Ghana’s political landscape. However, many constituents feel that their needs have been overlooked by the current government, leading to frustrations that have intensified as election day approaches.
NDC supporters argue that the NPP’s promises have not translated into tangible benefits for the region, particularly in key areas such as road infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
The NDC supporters emphasize that the NPP, led by President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia, campaigned on a platform of transformation that included significant infrastructural improvements across the nation, with particular promises aimed at the Central Region.
However, many residents feel that these promises have gone unfulfilled.
In a series of community meetings and rallies held over the past weeks, NDC activists have outlined the inadequacies they believe have characterized the NPP’s governance.
They point to the deteriorating road conditions, inadequate healthcare facilities, and insufficient educational resources as evidence of the NPP’s failure to deliver the development that was promised.
The issues faced by communities in the Central Region are numerous and varied. For instance, reports indicate that many roads remain in disrepair, causing difficulties in transportation and exacerbating economic challenges. Similarly, healthcare facilities are reportedly struggling to meet the needs of residents, with a lack of medical personnel and inadequate medical supplies hindering service delivery.
NDC supporters argue that instead of addressing these pressing issues, the NPP has focused on political maneuvering and rhetoric.
They claim that the government has dismissed the struggles faced by ordinary Ghanaians, further fueling discontent among residents who expected more from their leaders.
As the NDC ramps up its campaign activities, the call for voters to reject Bawumia and the NPP has gained momentum. NDC leaders have emphasized the importance of unity and collective action among supporters to ensure that the people’s voices are heard on election day.
They urge constituents to vote with their hearts, recognizing that their choices will have a lasting impact on the future of their communities.
During recent rallies, prominent NDC figures reiterated their commitment to prioritize infrastructure development and social services in the Central Region. They outlined plans for comprehensive road rehabilitation, increased healthcare funding, and educational reforms aimed at lifting the region out of its current struggle.
