The independent presidential candidate and leader of the Movement for Change (MFC), is calling on Ghanaians, ahead of the December 7 elections, to prioritise substance over the statements and soundbites commonly found in the manifestoes of the two leading political parties in the country. He emphasised that in other parts of the world, the focus during elections is on substantive issues, but in Ghana, people often place undue importance on manifestoes, which are often seen as mere documents rather than practical guides for national development. He pointed out that these manifestoes frequently lack substance, yet they are widely regarded as essential for the country's progress. This is why, according to him, when these parties assume power, they often fail to implement many of the promises and statements made in their manifestoes. These statements, he argued, are made without real substance, which explains the parties' inability to follow through on their commitments.
