As the nation gears up for a crucial general election, some Ghanaians are already fed up with the two major political parties, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In the bustling streets of Accra, amidst the hustle and bustle, Ghanaians expressed their discontent and frustrations.

Some Ghanaians have chosen not to vote as a silent protest against NDC and NPP.
This, they explained, is because both political parties have been given the opportunity but has moved Ghana’s socio-economic development from bad to worse.
“Both NDC and NPP are cut from the same cloth. They don’t bring anything on board. We voted for them and here we are, disappointments everywhere,” some traders said.
