NewsNDC vs NPP.
Every Fourth Republic government since 1993, ministry by ministry. What the country's numbers did while each one was in power, and what happened to the promises each one made. Pick any two governments, or put every NDC year against every NPP year.
What the numbers did.
Solid bar is the first pick, outlined bar the second, grey is every other government for context. Tap or hover a bar for the years behind it. These figures show what happened while a government was in power, not only what it caused: oil prices, the 2008 crash, COVID and the war in Ukraine moved them too.
What happened to the promises.
For past governments: the main promises we could find and check in each ministry (101 in all). For Mahama since 2025: his flagship promises from the tracker, most not checked yet.
Every ministry.
How we compare.
Our standards →Same rules for both.
Every verdict rests on at least two independent sources, for NDC and NPP alike. A ministry with no clear promise stays empty. We never fill it in.
Where promises come from.
Party manifestos where we could find them. The 1992 and 1996 NDC manifestos are not online, so Rawlings' promises come from Vision 2020, budget statements and laws. Each promise says where it comes from.
How the numbers work.
Averages use every year in office. End-of-term figures use the last full year, compared with the year before taking office. IMF debt and deficit are actuals to 2024. Governance scores start in 1996.
