Correspondence from Ilyaas Al-Hasan, Upper West Elections in this country are often characterized by high expectations from electorates coupled with heightened tensions, particularly during general elections, despite the country's ability to maintain peace after every election since adopting constitutional rule.
But for the unfortunate incident in 2020 that resulted in the loss of lives at Techiman South, Ghana has often largely come out of every election unscathed and united, earning remarkable accolades for its democratic credentials, albeit with isolated incidences sometimes recorded in some constituencies.
Political analysts and well-meaning Ghanaians are intensifying calls for voters not to allow anything that will mar the peace and stability Ghanaians are enjoying in the upcoming elections.
As Ghana gears up towards an election that will go down in history as one of its toughest elections ever held in the country due to the unique dynamics that come with it, GhanaWeb has hit the streets of Wa Central Constituency in the Upper West Region in a bid to gauge the expectations of voters over what informs their choice of a candidate in the upcoming general elections.
