According to him, the campaign promises of the three-time flag bearer of the NPP were not realistic but were made for political expediency. Mr Akufo-Addo, as part of his campaign activities ahead of the elections, has promised to establish one factory in each of the 216 districts across the country and also set up an irrigation dam in every farming village in the regions up north. His vice presidential nominee, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has also said a future Akufo-Addo government will give each of the 275 constituencies $1million per year for infrastructural development and poverty eradication. But Mr Konneh thinks these promises are meant to hoodwink the electorate.
