As the District Assemblies and Unit Committee Elections draw closer residents living in the Aboabo No.1 and No.2 Electoral areas in the Asawase constituency say they will elect candidates based on hard work and competences.
The electorates want leaders who can improve the sanitation and security issues in their areas.
The Aboabo No.1 and No.2 Electoral Areas are major communities in the Asawase constituency.
The densely populated communities and the Muslim dominated population have most of their settlements being scattered. Most of the inhabitants living in these areas fall within the low class status.
Flooding, poor sanitation conditions, insecurity and over-crowding are the main problems confronting the dwellers of Aboabo due to the construction of unauthorized structures.
A total of 13 candidates are aspiring for the Assembly member positions for both electoral areas.
Five candidates are contesting positions in Aboabo No.1 while eight candidates are also contesting those in Aboabo No.2 electoral area.
Residents from both places tell rawgist.com they will elect their leaders based on good leadership, hardwork and competence.
“The main challenges we are facing in this area are Sanitation and Security so we will elect an Assembly member who can improve the sanitation and security situations for us,” a resident stressed.
Although the inception of a watchdog committee has helped clamp down on criminal activities the residents want their operations intensified.
