The Deputy Director of Communications, Anthony Karbo, argued that should they win election 2016, they would fulfil all their campaign promises made to the general public.

Speaking to Accra-based Citi FM he questioned IMANI Ghana, the basis for making such allegations since they have not seen the party’s manifesto.

The report which was based on the campaign promises of the six main political parties in the country showed that a total of 247 promises were identified, out of this 18 were quantifiable, 43 were semi-quantifiable, and 186 were non-quantifiable.

The report indicated that the NPP’s promise of reviving the NHIS and the much touted one factory, one district were all not quantifiable.

It also suggested that out of the 29 promises made by the NPP, “only one is quantifiable, 14, semi-quantifiable and 14 non-quantifiable.”

Deputy Head at IMANI in charge of Political and Economic Affairs Nii-Aponsah also questioned NPP’s ability to create a second region out of the Western region as its flagbearer had promised during his campaign tour.
