Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has claimed that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration has successfully fulfilled 80% of the promises made in its 2020 manifesto.
During a media engagement on August 25, Dr. Bawumia underscored the government’s commitment to delivering on its promises, contrasting this achievement with that of his main opponent, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He alleged that Mahama only fulfilled 28% of the commitments outlined in his 2012 manifesto.
Dr. Bawumia noted that the NPP government has demonstrated a more effective track record in keeping promises, citing Mahama’s failure to deliver on 203 out of the 280 pledges made in his 2012 manifesto.
He stated, “I think that we have a very pretty record in terms of honouring our promises. We’ve done some work to look at our 2016 manifesto, and what proportion of those manifestos we’ve honoured, and 83 percent have been honoured. And when you look at the 2020 manifesto, even in the midst of all these crises, we are fulfilling or we’ve fulfilled 80 percent of our 2020 promises in our manifesto.”
He further added, “My opponent in his 2012 manifesto when he became the president, he only fulfilled 28 percent of his 2012 manifesto, 280 promises; he didn’t fulfil 203 of the 280 promises. So, I think we have a better record as far as fulfilling promises.”
