The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) says the party is unfazed by the new report which tags them as the least trusted institution in the country.
According to Justin Kodua Frimpong, it is obvious that the current economic challenges have influenced the perception of Ghanaians.
Ghana is currently going through a tough phase when it comes to finances.
Following this, the government has been at the doors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to save the economy from a meltdown.
A section of the country is reeling in discomfort, high standard of living, skyrocketing fuel prices and a depreciating currency.
On July 26, an Afrobarometer study cited the governing party as being at the bottom of the category of trusted institutions.
But JFK, as he is affectionately called, insists the NPP-led administration is working hard to restore the economy. He was speaking on the sidelines of the launch of NPP’s 30th anniversary on Thursday.
"I know once we are able to reform and transform the economy, definitely confidence will go high," he explained to JoyNews.
He believes this move will improve the lives of the citizenry and in turn, restore the trust in the party as an institution that has the country at heart.
Acknowledging that "I am in no position to doubt it," he sees the findings as another opportunity to prove its capability in the face of adversity.
The Afrobarometer survey bordered on democratic governance, trust in institutions and corruption.
The research sampled nationally representative respondents of adult citizens selected at random.
The sample size of 2,400 people was distributed across regions/states/provinces and urban/rural areas in proportion to their share in the national population.
Fieldwork for Round 9 in Ghana was conducted from 4th to 20th April, 2022
