Several locals have vowed to vote against the NPP, which is now in power.
The locals mentioned abandoned infrastructure initiatives, such as local roads and hospitals, as well as what they perceived as constituency neglect.
Nonetheless, work on building roads in the district has started.
When Kwasi Amoako Atta, Minister of Roads and Highways, visited Kumawu on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, work on the Kumawu-Afigyasi route got started right away.
