As Ghana's Election Day approaches, many citizens are expressing frustration and disappointment over the government's unfulfilled promises, particularly when it comes to infrastructure development. The issue of unfinished roads has become a major concern, especially in rural and underserved areas where infrastructure is crucial for daily life.

A local resident's sentiment, "They started our road and stopped, so I don’t see why I should vote for the government," reflects the larger feeling among citizens who feel that their government has failed to deliver on promises. This lack of faith in the government's ability to follow through on commitments could have significant consequences for voter turnout.

Young voters, in particular, are feeling disillusioned with the system. While some still plan to vote, hoping that their participation can spark change, others remain undecided. As one young individual put it, "There’s not much trust left."

To regain the trust of disillusioned voters, politicians will need to address these concerns and demonstrate a commitment to completing vital infrastructure projects like roads. Ultimately, for many Ghanaians, voting isn't just about choosing a candidate—it's about holding the government accountable for its promises.
