Whereas some members of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] are worried with government’s 48.78% score by IMANI Ghana with regards to the fulfillment of its 2016 manifesto promises – the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP] seems satisfied with the results.

The NPP’s deputy General Secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen was all cheerful on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ saying “oh we have done really well, its left with only three points to hit 51%. That is great.”

He said the party will not be complacent with the current rating but will work harder in the last year of their tenure before the 2020 election.

“We are not resting. We need to go back to the drawing board to ensure the maximum point. This is a big plus for us,” he said.

Policy think tank IMANI Africa has scored the Akufo-Addo government 48.78% as far as the fulfillment of its 2016 campaign promises.

This was contained in the 2019 Imanifesto report.

Imanifesto is a progress report which seeks to validate the promises made by the NPP in the run-up to the 2020 polls and how many of those promises have been accomplished three years on.

It assessed areas of governance, economy, social sector, infrastructure and human capital investment.
