Vice Chairman of the NPP Manifesto Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said that the Akufo-Addo administration has successfully delivered on 70% of the promises made in its 2020 manifesto.

In an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View on Channel One TV, the former Minister of Information highlighted a more stable cedi and lower inflation as key indicators of economic progress.

Oppong Nkrumah stressed that significant economic advancements have been achieved due to the government's early policy initiatives. He dismissed claims that the NPP has failed to meet its promises and urged the public to verify the available information.

Furthermore, he assured that if the party is re-elected, the NPP Manifesto Committee's plans to tackle the country's ongoing issues will be implemented.

“We are of the view that we have done 70% of the things we committed to in 2020. Other independent people can work it out, and we can have a debate about it. We haven’t said we have done 100%; our data tells us that we have done 70%.”

“If you look at our economy, the big basket of our economy, various variables are going into it: growth, inflation, jobs, and cost of living.

If you take all of these parameters from 2016 to 2020, the story is clear: where the trends were going. From 2020 up until now, you can see from all of these indicators the key ones that had some major challenges.

“Inflation and currency depreciation have been perhaps the most significant; you have seen growth picking back after the turbulence that we went through.

You have seen currency depreciation, though it’s significant, going down after many policies were introduced to arrest the situation. We have seen inflation trending downwards because some interventions were made,” he's reported to have said.

The Minister of Works and Housing stressed that the government has accepted responsibility for its unfulfilled promises, recognized the effects of Ghanaians' growing cost of living, and admitted to being imperfect.

“Going into the 2024 elections, not only are we taking responsibility for some of the things that have not been dealt with.

Because if we hadn’t taken responsibility for the cost of living and how it has impacted Ghanaians, despite the causes, why would we be outlining some of the interventions we say we can roll out?”

He asked voters in Ghana to make well-informed choices by closely examining the past performances of the two front-runners for the presidency, National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate John Dramani Mahama and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
