Residents of Manhean in the Ga West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have vowed to boycott the 2020 general elections over the bad roads in the area.

According to the residents, numerous demonstrations to get authorities to fix their roads have so far not yielded any positive results.

“This portion of the road was not mentioned in the budget. I don’t think the authorities have this road in mind. If they don’t fix the road, we won’t vote; No road, no vote! We are bent on this one and we are not going to allow anyone to campaign on our land,“ a resident fumed.

Speaking in an interview with Accra-Based Citi FM, the residents threatened another protest which would bring more residents to the streets to press home their demands.

“Since we have been neglected for far too long, we are planning another demonstration but this time around, no car will move for a week” another resident hinted.

Residents in different parts of Ghana have for some time now raised concerns over the deplorable nature of roads in their area.

Ghanaians have resorted to series of demonstration to press home their demands over the deplorable road networks.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta declared 2020 as a year of roads with assurances of fixing all bad roads across Ghana.
