The Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has shared insights into the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) manifesto.
He mentioned that, it took over five months to complete the manifesto.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah, who is the Vice Chairman of the Manifesto Committee, explained that the team began their work in February, carefully crafting the document.
“We started somewhere in February— over five months ago,” he noted, highlighting the extensive effort involved.
He elaborated on the committee’s role and how the final document was then refined and approved by the party leadership.
“Our task was to define the parameters within which the subcommittees would operate, guide them through justifications, and ensure alignment with the flagbearer’s vision and the party’s ideology.
“The flagbearer had already outlined his vision, and we expanded on it,” he added.
He also mentioned that, some proposals were adjusted or removed based on advice from the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, before the manifesto was finalized.
The NPP officially launched its manifesto for the upcoming general elections on Sunday in Takoradi, in the Western Region. The event, held at the Ghana Secondary and Technical School (GSTS), drew party members from across the country, energizing the party’s base ahead of the December 7, 2024, polls.
During his speech at the launch, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate, emphasized his administration’s commitment to supporting businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to drive economic growth and job creation.
“Our government will prioritize strengthening businesses, especially SMEs, to promote economic growth and create jobs,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
He also pledged to streamline Ghana’s government by limiting ministerial appointments to 50 if elected President and promised to enhance the Free Senior High School (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs.
