“Voting must be based on ideologies and strategies, not manifestos” – Dr. Tony Addai

The President of the Western North Development Association (WENDA Ghana), Dr. Tony Tsina Addai, has called for a paradigm shift in the way Ghanaians approach voting.

According to Dr. Addai, the traditional method of voting based on party manifestos is outdated and no longer serves the best interests of the electorate.

He emphasized that the time has come for voters to consider candidates’ ideologies and their strategies for implementation as the primary criteria for making electoral decisions.

In a Facebook post cited by Sefwinews.com, Dr. Addai stated, “The era of reading manifestos and voting based on party lines is obsolete. We are now in an era where candidates must demonstrate their ideologies and implementation strategies, rather than relying on manifestos that even a market woman could read.”

He pointed out that manifestos often contain generic promises and lack the depth needed to assess a candidate’s true potential and vision for the future.

Dr. Addai argued that focusing on ideologies and strategies allows voters to better understand a candidate’s long-term vision and commitment to specific policies.

He noted that this approach encourages a more informed and engaged electorate, capable of holding elected officials accountable for their promises and actions.

By prioritizing ideologies and implementation plans, voters can ensure that they are electing leaders who have a clear and achievable roadmap for development.

He further explained that manifestos often fail to reflect the practical challenges and complexities of governance.

“Manifestos are frequently written by professional writers who may not fully grasp the on-ground realities and intricacies of policy implementation. This is why we must shift our focus to the ideologies and strategies that candidates bring to the table,” Dr. Addai remarked.

He believes that this shift will lead to more effective governance and better outcomes for communities.

Dr. Addai concluded by urging voters to demand more from their candidates and to scrutinize their ideologies and strategies critically.

“This is the new standard for voting,” he said. “We must move beyond superficial promises and look for depth and substance in our leaders. Only then can we achieve meaningful progress and development.”
