Some first-time voters have indicated their preference for a candidate who can revitalise the economy in the upcoming December elections.
The voters made the comments during the final day of the limited registration exercise, initially set to wrap up on Monday, May 27.
The Electoral Commission extended the deadline by two more days, concluding on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
The Electoral Commission (EC) ascribed this extension to network problems that impeded the process in its early stages.
In a conversation with Citi News on Wednesday, Jacob Bonney, a first-time voter, made it clear that his vote would not be swayed by any political party’s attempts to buy it.
“The way things are going on, things are very very hard. To support yourself and support your family is something that is really really hard. I wish somebody would come and everything would go well.
“Somebody should change something so that everything will go on well. It can never be better for all of us but most of the people can enjoy small,” he further said.
Another who did not give his name indicated “We are in extremely difficult times. Everything is in a mess. It is no joke. The way things are going is making life very hard for us. Prices of goods have shot up astronomically and it’s scary.
