Floating Voters Association urges government to prioritise health infrastructure
The Floating Voters Association (FVA) of Ghana says the NDC government has fulfilled 35% of its 2024 manifesto promises since taking office, while 65% of the promises have not yet commenced.
In a statement dated September 27, 2026, and signed by National President Ben Anderson, the non-partisan group said it reviewed the NDC's main and Youth manifestos against the 2025 Budget and field reports from 120 districts.
What the FVA says has been delivered
The association credited the government with the abolition of the E-Levy, the COVID-19 Levy and the Betting Tax. It also cited a reduction in the size of government to 60 ministers and a cut in the number of presidential staffers.
Other items on its "fulfilled" list include:
- Uncapping of the GETFund and the District Assemblies Common Fund
- The No-Fees-Stress policy for Level 100 students
- Free tertiary education for Persons with Disabilities
- The launch of job programmes, including the National Apprenticeship Programme, Adwumawura, the National Coders Programme and the Black Star Experience
- Free primary healthcare on a pilot basis
The FVA said these measures "have brought some relief" to its members.
Promises yet to start
The association said many promises directly affecting floating voters have not begun. These include:
- A six-month cap on advance rent
- Full rollout of the 24-hour economy
- The Women's Development Bank
- Free Wi-Fi in tertiary institutions
- BED FOR ALL accommodation
- Free sanitary pads for SHS girls
- Modern hospitals in Bawku and Yendi
- A Children's Hospital and a Fertility Centre
- A dialysis centre in the Upper East Region
- 20% extra salary for rural teachers and health workers
- JOBS4YOU
- A National Sexual Harassment Policy
- The FinTech Growth Fund
- Removal of import duty on industrial equipment
Stressing that its members voted on promises, the FVA said it could not commend the 35% progress and urged the government to focus on health infrastructure before its next assessment in January 2027.
The FVA describes itself as "the authority of floating voters" and uses the motto "Ghana First." It is based in Tema.
