This was revealed at a programme to outdoor its report on major campaign promises made by the six main political parties in the country. The political parties featured in the report are CPP, NDC, NDP, NPP, PNC and PPP.

Presenting the findings, one of the researchers Stephan Reppen said “a total of 247 promises were identified, out of this 18 were quantifiable, 43 were semi-quantifiable, and 186 were non-quantifiable. So it is clear that the vast majority of the promises that the parties present are not assessable and are empty promises."

IMANI Ghana explained that most of the promises made by the political parties do not have the needed requirements to materialise.

Reppen further explained that IMANI Ghana said that most of the promises were not quantifiable.

IMANI Ghana casted doubts over the governing NDC’s promise to reduce inflation to a single-digit by 2017. They further questioned the CPP’s Almond Tree and Wind Turbine promise as well as the PPP’s promise to scrap the winner takes all concept.

Reppen added that because most of these promises cannot be quantified, it is difficult for electorates to make an informed decision on election day.

But he was quick to add that  the report was tentative and it was released in a bid get the political parties to provide detailed strategy and financial plan on how they would execute their promises.

“I do want to highlight that the report is tentative, we do make a lot of assumptions but we want to put rough numbers out there and especially, in my opinion, we want to push the parties to provide a financial plan and a cost-benefit analysis to back up every promise that they make to the Ghanaian people. Because three-fourth of the promises are non-quantifiable, it’s impossible to make a holistic feasibility analysis of the whole policy set,” Stefan Reppan said.
