Okaku Constituency residents will go to the polls tomorrow to elect a new councilor of their choice to fill the vacant post left by the late Gerson Hanu Kapenda, who died last year.

The nbc News team took to the streets of Okaku to gauge the voter's expectations.

The youth we spoke to said they were voting for job opportunities to be availed in the constituency.

They said gone are the days when they put regional councilors in office who later turned a blind eye to the electorates.

One youth lamented that they were tired of sitting idle at cuca shops without hope due to the high unemployment rate in their constituency.

They also want their new councilor to set up youth projects for income generation in the constituency.

85% of Okaku residents have access to clean drinking water, and there are 15 government schools, all electrified, two clinics, and two mobile clinics.
