Elections for the local government structures (District Assembly and Unit Committee) are currently ongoing.
Over the previous days, electorates have been exposed to the aspirations and campaign promises of the almost 56,000 people standing for office.
Various communities have already commenced the voting process but are unfortunately faced with low voter turnout.
The voter turn out in my area it very very poor. May be it’s too early to say but let’s hope Ghanaians want to be part of strengthening the local Government structure. #CitiCBS pic.twitter.com/mqL6IBaSub

Interestingly, other users were of the view that political parties had to get involved with the elections to boost the number of electorates who participate.
Bernard if the political parties don't get involved in the local level elections forget it. The elections will continue to be abysmal as always. #CitiCBS
