You don't fear early manifestos when you're performing - Nana Akomea fires at NDC
Nana Akomea dismissed suggestions on Tuesday on PM Express with Evans Mensah that the NPP's early release of its policies and flagbearer could hand political advantage to the governing NDC ahead of the 2028 elections. Akomea argued that "performing governments do not fear opposition manifestos." He said that the real responsibility of a government is to fulfil the promises it made to citizens.
Akomea stated, "You have made promises to the Ghanaians, and you have to deliver on those promises, whether the opposition has a manifesto or not." He insisted that a performing government would have little reason to feel threatened by the opposition's alternative proposals. Akomea said that if the government fails to deliver, Ghanaians will naturally begin looking for alternatives, making the NPP's policy direction more attractive to voters.
Akomea added that elections are ultimately decided by performance and the credibility of the alternative ideas presented to the electorate. He said that the policy committee will come up with an alternative and present it to the Ghanaian people and ask them to make a choice.
