Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asserted that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration has delivered on 80% of the promises outlined in their 2020 manifesto.
In a media engagement on Sunday, August 25, Dr. Bawumia highlighted the government’s dedication to fulfilling its promises.
He contrasted this achievement with the record of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, alleging that Mahama only fulfilled 28% of his 2012 manifesto commitments.
Dr. Bawumia emphasised that the NPP government has a stronger track record, referencing Mahama’s reported failure to deliver on 203 out of 280 promises made in his 2012 manifesto.
He said, “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, 2020, even in the midst of all these crises, we are fulfilling or we’ve fulfilled 80 percent of our 2020 promises in our manifesto.”
“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.”
