Independent Media Caucus for Development (IMCD) is an association of media persons formed to champion the cause of development in the Central Region.

The association seeks to offer objective reportage on leadership at every level from local to national.

The association uses various methods to assess quality leadership in terms of development, community peace, security and sanitation through covert and overt surveys, opinion polls, interviews, intelligence gathering, etc.

IMCD has been monitoring the various political activities within some constituencies of the Central Region including Agona West.

This survey was done to assess the positive impact of various programmes/projects being done by the prospective parliamentary aspirants of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Agona West.

"We’ve observed that most of these programmes and activities done by such groups and individuals are aiming at attracting public attention for political gains."

"We have observed that there are about four (4) different camps or groups, namely Team Cynthia Mamle Morrison (CMM), Team Chris Arthur of Chris Cares Foundation (CCF), Team Benjamin Yamoah (BY) and Team Kojo Addo) within NPP in Agona West.

"However, based on their work, effectiveness and public interest, the survey revealed that the contest is between at the main two (2) contenders in the upcoming parliamentary primaries in February 2024, namely Team Cynthia Mamle Morrison vs. Team Chris Arthur.

From our observation, the other two camps are not putting up any significant input in the race, hence our attention on them was very little.

The survey is based on the three main perceptions of impactful campaigning. Human Development, Public Acceptance and Party Acceptance.
