He was speaking to Kwabena Agyapong on Eboboba on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm. He said although the Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is doing his best, the communication of the ruling party is poor. The policy analyst told the host the party has not made major promises as compared to 2016 because they have not been able to roll out the previous ones. He said the party is consolidating their gains and protecting what they have achieved so far. He noted no serious party will. make ambitious promise young into a second term when they have been unable to finish implementing their old promises. Evans Badu Boampong indicated this not a new phenomenon because it was bound to happen.
