” They are resolute that if their demands for road repairs are not met, they will refuse to participate in the upcoming elections. “We are serious about our call for the roads to be fixed. Just as you see these red bands, know that the wind proceeds the rain. If nothing is done soon, we will organize a major demonstration, and if they bring the ballot boxes and the roads are still not fixed, we will not vote,” one resident declared.

Another protester added, “Since I was born, I have never seen any improvement on this road. Even though local drivers try to assist us, the cost of transportation remains prohibitively high. We urge the government to address this issue. Adamorobe is known as an NPP stronghold, so why has the area been neglected?”
