So money is a problem and there is no money. Sunny like millions of young one stage all. With general elections decent we he has been monitoring whats kind of permission on job creation. And ive been hearing it from the people. Who create opportunities for the people to work and then in terms. Of all the parties. 12 candidates are running for president in the december 7 elections but the 2 leading candidates are the incumbent president. And the Opposition Leader the expresident John Muhammad. Campaigned for the 2020 general elections have largely taken place on vetch op lot phones with social media playing a key role in it. But that has not stopped. From holding huge gatherings ignoring safety protocols president who has edged for tests to keep him in. So he can do more for them swati b. N. P. He is hopeful kenyans will grant thats requests and were known that then you put to the party when i was always provided they needed quality leadership and when the president runs its mine 1st do you hate what we put out there that is the leadership of. Helping to protect against me for all. As being a message to the good people of. The position candidates and former president John Muhammad is also hopeful of victory of order despite to say the government hasnt done enough to deserve another 4 years. Every single time who one who is suffering from the economic depression and pressure that is being hunted to the people by the. Most with on the election and feel that is that i have salvation deep. For the i will se the kind of the meeting what you know for history that you. See this Years Campaign has been issued be used with voters expected to consider policies of parties in deciding who to vote for. The survey that we put out there said we did you know theres evidence that people are much more aware and much more knowledgeable of the Political Parties ministers and their messages than that they would have had in the past and of course the media engagement has been very intense. Sunny will be voting in the election whats my test most to do this for the we know to get to. Fix the countrys economic challenges. Joining me now is dr congo head of the center for Public Discourse analysis and electra at the guys use of journalism now we just saw a report about on unemployed gunmen how big an issue is that and how are the candidates addressing it. Unemployment is a really huge issue in ghana as of now unemployment is about 12 percent in general and youth unemployment is about 50 percent so this is really really huge and unemployment is higher than areas done in the rural areas and i can tell you that there is. A lot of young people are concerned about and people are for the country are concerned about unemployment. Among the top factors in this election and what kind of saying about that. Well for the m. D. C. That is the Opposition Party does the challenger John Dramani Mahama is the kind of day for the National Democratic congress does the biggest Opposition Party and hes saying that hes going to establish bring about 1000000 jobs when he becomes president in the manifesto he calls the. Language and soon he is calling part of the bring about a job big push and hes saying that in the big push infrastructure and the policies that youll be doing would help to bring about 1000000 jobs for the n. P. P. The new picture at that party which is the incumbent party leader not the president then ive done he is saying that he will continue with the policies that hes done that will bring about that will bring about a lot of employment for food and jobs the National Builders call program that hes planning to do ok there are lots of other major issues with the current president and former president how hard the corruption allegations against him how will that be the determining factor in this election. If you want to look at the direction of a gun in an election one of the big things apart from jobs is corruption people hate it and one. Option is hung on your neck its probably the death nail so corruption is a big scene its come up really strongly in the last 2 weeks after the special prosecutor released it was his report on the deal so more option is really up there in this particular election and i see that is going to be one of the deciding factor now looking forward to the d. D. D. In previous elections theres been pockets of violence here and there is not something we should be concerned about. Absolutely especially because weve had consent about vigilantism in ghana over the past 4 years this has been one of if you had one of the biggest things that has characterized the government it is that vigilantism so important that he passed the vigilantism and related offenses act 1999 thats how important it is live what weve seen that there has been some violence in the recently held elections so there are legitimate concerns about vigilantism and conflict and violence in this bicycle a lection ok now how will the 19 pandemic influence the elections in any way huge huge their eyelids have been banned by the government so we dont have the traditional rallies as weve seen it which means that one more variable factor has come into the picture the party which is. Campaign and sell itself despite its covered 1000. 00 go around it is the party which is going to make a head we have seen the m. P. P. Do virtual rallies weve seen the n. D. P. Use Facebook Facebook live events and so many other innovative ways whats up and i do think that. That the medium is the message and still in this particular election the medium or on call the one thing is going to be a determining factor ok 10 seconds is this election too close to call or what there be a 1st round clear winner if there is an election which is too close to call it is this particularly election because theyve been just too many things that have happened close to election day that will tend to tilt the balance ok for the brief there dog.
