The Importance of Political Party Manifestos

Ahead of the 2023 elections, political parties and candidates are busy developing their party manifestos and plans on which they expect citizens to vote for them. On Tuesday, 23^rd May 2023, the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party launched the People’s Manifesto in Kenema. It is expected that other political parties, including the opposition APC, will follow suit in the coming week.

Almost a month after the release of the BioMeter, a promise tracker developed by the Institute for Governance Reform (IGR), we speak with Hassan Kallon about political party manifestos generally and why they are important to the democratic process and why citizens should pay attention to them.
