  Run-off Tension Has Affected Business-Traders
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, Dec 17, Ghanadot - A section of businessmen, women and traders in the capital have expressed their dissatisfaction over the slow pace at which business is going, saying Christmas will not even prove anything to Ghanaians since they are so into the elections and have forgotten to even shop,

According to a gift shop owner at Makola, said because of the elections people were not patronising her ware, adding that this has slowed down business drastically.

She said since the December 7, when the Electoral Commission (EC) announced the run-off, people have been locked in their homes trying to figure out how things will work in their favour to ensure their candidate win, thus have left the Christmas to it fate.

Others also lamented that their wares are begining to go bad as people have refused to patronise them, and claimed that they would be having problems with the banks that they borrowed money from since they will not be able to pay.

At the hawkers market at the Kwame Nkrumah circle, situation was no different as traders complained of low patronage. According to one trader who gave her name as Yaa things have gone bad to worse as every day situation worsens with little or no one coming to the market to buy things.

Brother John who also sells electricals at the hawkers market noted that the only traders who are making money now as the country prepares for the run-off are those who are sellig party items and not people like him and other at the market.

While others hoped that business will come back to its original state after December 28, as Ghanaians will by then be sure of the state of the country, other believed that with the cause of the day business will definitely pick up.
