Some traders, speaking to the media, compared the current situation to the period when Koomson was in office, noting that they felt more connected to leadership at the time.
According to one trader, there was a sense of accessibility and reassurance under the former MP, which they claim is now missing.
The trader stated that since the elections, the current MP has not been seen engaging directly with constituents, a situation they believe has created a gap between leadership and the community.
The concerns reflect a broader sentiment among sections of the constituency, where residents and business operators say they feel increasingly disconnected from decision-makers.
Traders argue that consistent engagement from elected representatives is crucial, particularly in addressing everyday challenges that affect local businesses and livelihoods.
Some residents have also pointed to what they describe as a slowdown in local development efforts, attributing it partly to the perceived absence of active leadership.
They say that without regular interaction, it becomes difficult to communicate pressing needs or collaborate on initiatives that could improve economic conditions in the area.
Political observers note that such complaints are not uncommon in constituencies where expectations for post-election engagement are high.
Voters increasingly expect Members of Parliament to maintain visibility and remain accessible throughout their term, rather than limiting engagement to campaign periods.
The situation highlights the growing demand for accountability and responsiveness in Ghana’s political landscape, where constituents are placing greater emphasis on continuous representation.
Analysts warn that failure to address such concerns could erode public trust and influence voter behavior in future elections.
