Political parties must consult civil society for their input into the manifestoes – IEA

The Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Dr John Kwakye has asked all the political parties to seek the views of civil society organisations and factor them into their manifestoes for the 2024 general elections.

He says without the comments from the CSOs, the manifestoes will be rendered defective because the civil society activists represent the people.

Although the parties are preparing for the general elections, they are yet to outdoor their manifesto document which is expected to capture their plans for the development of the country.

In a post on his X platform, Dr Kwakye said “Political parties should remember to consult CSOs, who represent the people, for their inputs into the parties’ manifestos. Failure to do that will render the manifestos defective.
