Residents along the Cape Three points and its surrounding communities have threatened to boycott the upcoming elections for what they referred to as failed promises by government and other politicians. The residents say government has failed to provide schools, hospital, roads, electricity and other facilities in spite of the many promises made to them before the last elections. They claim to have lost confidence in politicians, and warned them to refrain from campaigning in the area. “We are telling our MPs and DCE’s that without our roads there will be no voting at all.” One of residents told a reporter, Kwaku Owusu Peprah of Radio Max. In his report to sister station Joy FM Peprah indicated that the area is cut off from the rest of the country because the only access road has been flooded. The area according to him is deprived with no electricity or bore holes for use by the people. Residents who live in mud houses have to be ferried on high seas to the nearest hospital found at Dixcove because there is no hospital in the area. The voting population according to Peprah is around 3000 spread through communities like Akwadae, Ntakrom, Sanko Junction, and its immediate environs. The residents say they will not vote in this year’s election because politics have done nothing to them. Author: Nathan Gadugah
