Executive Director for the Centre for Public Opinion and Awareness, Michael Donyinah, says he feels bad for Ghana because the two manifestos launched by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) lack the key ideas and policies to solve the challenges confronting the country. The policy analyst stated that, upon a careful review of the manifestos, there is nothing in them that has a panacea to the challenges. He stated that the two documents lack hope and contain nothing that 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.
