The Director of Communications and Spokesperson for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has stated that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has fulfilled 80% of the promises outlined in the party’s 2020 manifesto. He stated that only 20% of the commitments remain incomplete.
According to him, the NPP has conducted a thorough analysis of their manifesto, concluding that they have successfully implemented the majority of their pledges. Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on August 16, he said, “Our manifesto, we have done just about 80%. It is 20% that we have not been able to fulfil. We have run an analysis of our manifesto. You have it, run the analysis. Have you run an implementation of NPP’s manifesto? What percentage did you get? We have run a test of our manifesto to determine that there are 80% of the things that we said we would do, that we have been able to do.”
“There is a 20%, that is outstanding that we have not been able to entirely complete. Look at the macroeconomic indicators. When we came into office, one of our main objectives was to move our inflation to a single digit, which we succeeded in doing between 2017 and 2024 but today it’s around 20%.” Mr Aboagye added that the NPP’s upcoming manifesto will place a strong emphasis on job creation and business development.
He expressed confidence that the party, having delivered on similar promises in the past, is poised to do so again, particularly for the nation’s youth. “The manifesto is designed to ensure that the private sector not only thrives but also expands, increases production, and empowers citizens to access the opportunities generated. As businesses grow, they will naturally need to hire more people, leading to increased employment.”
