The Member of Parliament for Aowin Constituency, Oscar Ofori Larbi, has pledged not to contest the 2028 parliamentary elections if the Enchi Mile 4 to Elluibo road project is not completed.
Speaking during a visit to the Aowin Traditional Council on April 5, 2026, the MP stressed that the road remains the most pressing challenge affecting communities in the area. According to him, the deplorable condition of the stretch continues to hinder economic activities and access to essential services.
He noted that the road serves as a key international route linking Ghana to Côte d’Ivoire, making its completion critical for cross-border trade and movement. Residents, he said, face severe difficulties transporting goods to market, while emergency cases referred to the Enchi Government Hospital often encounter life-threatening delays due to the poor state of the road.
The MP recalled that the project was previously awarded under a past administration, but the contractor abandoned the site. He added that the issue became a major campaign point during the 2024 elections, with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) criticizing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the failed promise.
He disclosed that the road has now been re-awarded under the government’s “Big Push” infrastructure initiative, and that work is currently ongoing as the contractor has returned to site.
Assuring constituents of his commitment, the MP stated that the project is expected to be completed within a two-year contractual period. He emphasized that failure to deliver the road before the 2028 elections would compel him to step down and not seek re-election.
