First-time voters to vote based on employment, infrastructure

Tema, Oct. 14, GNA – Some first-time voters in Tema and Ashaiman have revealed that they will decide to vote for presidential candidates based on their preparedness to create jobs and uplift Ghana’s infrastructure.

The first-time voters told the Ghana News Agency that unemployment had become a big headache for the youth, therefore presidential candidates must convince them of what they would do to solve that problem.

They also noted that infrastructure, especially road networks within Tema and Ashaiman, needs some facelift for easy movements and access to business centres.

Mr Isaac Agyei Yeboah, a first-time voter at Ashaiman, stated: “I will look at issues on jobs and roads to decide on who to vote for; these are very important to him.

Mr Yeboah added that “nowadays, some of the youth are not getting work to do, though they have the required certificates; the jobs are not available.”
