Executive Director for the Centre for Public Opinion and Awareness, Michael Donyinah, has said he feels bad for Ghana because the two manifestos launched by the governing (NPP) and the opposition (NDC) lack the key ideas and policies to solve the challenges confronting Ghanaians. The policy analyst stated that, upon a careful review of the manifestos, both of them do not contain the needed policies that have a panacea for the country's challenges. He stated without mincing words that the two documents lack hope, which can address the various socioeconomic issues in the short, medium, and long term. "I feel really sad for the country this morning. I feel sad for Ghana because, when you examine the two manifestos launched by the NDC and the NPP, in the short to medium term, they do not contain any hope. The policies cannot help transform or address our challenges or the direction of the country.
