A few traders at the Kumasi Race Course have voiced their displeasure with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), alleging that the government has ignored the development requirements of the Ashanti Region.
As per traders, although the region is a strong support base for the NPP, there have been minimal to no notable development initiatives during the current government’s term.
They commended the former NDC government for its many infrastructure projects in the region, highlighting the perceived lack of development under the NPP.
The traders highlighted numerous important initiatives led by the NDC, indicating that these projects have significantly influenced their business activities and the economic conditions in the region. They are frustrated that the NPP has not introduced similar initiatives as promised during the elections.
In a press conference in Kumasi, the leader of the traders said: “We have seen roads, schools, and hospitals built under the NDC, but we struggle to point out what the NPP has done for us. It feels like we have been taken for granted because of our loyalty to them.”
Traders are feeling disappointed and want change. They stressed their willingness to back a government that focuses on the development needs of the Ashanti Region, suggesting a possible change in their voting patterns in the upcoming elections.
“We need a government that will bring real development to our region. If the NPP cannot deliver, we are willing to vote for someone who will,” another trader stated.
Some traders at Kumasi Race Course have voiced their concern over the NPP government taking the people of the Ashanti Region for granted and denying them development over the years.
