2024 Elections: State of economy likely to influence voters’ decision

State of the economy is a key concern that may influence the decision of voters in the Awutu Senya East Constituency.

Bordering the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro in the East, Awutu Senya West in the North and Gomoa East in the West, Kasoa is considered as a vibrant commercial hub in the Eastern part of the Central Region.

It has a voter population of over 178,000. The New Patriotic Party has held the parliamentary seat firmly since the constituency was carved from the former Awutu Senya constituency in 2012.

Even though there used to be a wide gap between the NPP and NDC, the introduction of a fresh candidate in the 2020 elections led to a closure of the gap as the deficit was reduced from over 11,000 to some 5,000 votes difference.

This year’s parliamentary elections is featuring incumbent NPP MP Mavis Hawa Koomson and the NDC’s Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunnor.

Voters in the constituency ahead of the December 7 polls are showing significant interest in the current state of the economy as well as economic policies outlined by the respective political parties since such decisions affect them directly.

Matters such as sanitation and overall physical development also remain key issues that may affect decision of voters.

Some registered voters who spoke to 3News.com while expecting an incident-free elections day said their choice of candidates will depend on policies and achievements.
