Tema, Oct. 14, GNA \u2013 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\u2019s infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They also noted that infrastructure, especially road networks within Tema and Ashaiman, needs some facelift for easy movements and access to business centres.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Isaac Agyei Yeboah, a first-time voter at Ashaiman, stated: \u201cI will look at issues on jobs and roads to decide on who to vote for; these are very important to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Yeboah added that \u201cnowadays, some of the youth are not getting work to do, though they have the required certificates; the jobs are not available.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miss Precious Mensah, an electorate of Tema East, said: \u201cWe need job opportunities to survive in this country; I will therefore consider that as number one in deciding on who I want to vote for on December 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added that another issue of concern to her is helping the vulnerable in society and proper remuneration of teachers to ensure that they embarked on fewer strike actions as such actions affect the academics of the students.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Emmanuel Asamoah, a 19-year-old first-time voter residing at Tema East, said: \u201cI am yet to think about the issues I will consider voting on, but job opportunities will certainly be one of them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a cross-section of first-time voters indicated that they would not vote in the December general elections as the politicians have failed Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms Stephanie Williams, a resident of Tema Community Four, said: \u201cAll of the politicians are not doing anything for us. Look at the free SHS, for instance; everything is \u2018basaa bi\u2019; they should improve upon it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms. El-Han Sahan Ibrahim, a resident of Tema Community One, noted \u201cI wanted to vote, but this government has disappointed us; all the politicians are corrupt. There is no need to queuing and voting for them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms. Ibrahim added, \u201cI went for the voter card for my father because I am not interested in voting; my father asked that I should register, so I did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms Erica Atta Botchway, an electorate at Ashaiman electorate, stated that, \u201cThe voting mindset is not in my head; I am not ready to vote, but my mum forced me to register.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI vote because I don\u2019t feel like queuing to employ someone\u2019s father or mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
