The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has asked Ghanaians not fall for the President John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) \u201cphantom promises\u201d ahead of the December polls.<\/p>\n

The NDC, led by its flagbearer launched its 2016 campaign manifesto over the weekend presenting a litany of pledges which have influenced an NPP press conference themed, \u201cPromises made, promises broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a press conference today\u00a0[Monday] to react to the governing NDC manifesto launch, the NPP\u2019s Policy Adviser for the 2016 campaign,\u00a0Boakye Agyarko, cautioned Ghanaians not to assess President Mahama on the phantom promises and the so-called achievements in the party’s Green book.<\/p>\n

He also said\u00a0the NDC flagbearer is out of touch with the average Ghanaian, making an attempt to draw some irony out of the first item in the NDC\u2019s manifesto tagged \u2018Putting people first\u2019.<\/p>\n

In a dig at the President, Boakye Agyarko asserted that, \u201cwhat we have in John Mahama is a President that is so out of touch with the problems of the average Ghanaian that he sees his non-performance in these sectors as success.”<\/p>\n

Despite President Mahama’s consistent highlighting of his\u00a0various achievements ahead of the polls, Boakye Agyarko\u00a0noted that, \u201cwhen you speak at random to people around the country, it appears their concerns, problems and anxieties are the same. Unemployment, bad roads, the lack of decent and affordable accommodation and the high cost of living as well as the falling standards in education and health.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also rubbished claims of equitable development of the citizens from the NDC saying, \u201ceven members of his own party recognition that the President\u2019s better Ghana agenda has been to the benefit of only his family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
