Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr Stephen Amoah, has strongly rejected his low performance ranking in the latest research report released by polling firm Global InfoAnalytics. Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the lawmaker questioned the research methodology, arguing that the survey ignores tangible development projects executed across his constituency.
The public disagreement highlights an ongoing national debate over how researchers and voters evaluate elected representatives. While research firms measure general public perception, lawmakers insist that objective development projects and legislative contributions provide a truer measure of performance.
Dr Stephen Amoah challenged research institutions to base performance evaluations on concrete achievements and constitutional duties rather than subjective impressions. He listed numerous community initiatives, including distributing computers to local schools, granting over one thousand local scholarships, and supplying classroom desks and chairs to improve education.
Additionally, the Nhyiaeso legislator highlighted investments in vocational training programs, water expansion projects, upgraded sports facilities, and donating a operational vehicle to bolster local police security. He expressed surprise at his low ranking, asserting that his tangible contributions exceed standard parliamentary achievements.
Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, defended the research findings, clarifying that the survey measures voter approval rather than auditing local infrastructure projects. The research team asked registered voters in selected electoral areas to rate their sitting representatives as excellent, very good, good, average, poor, or very poor.
Dankwah emphasized that the rankings reflect the percentage of constituents who selected the top three rating categories. He urged lawmakers not to dismiss the findings, noting that public perception provides a vital snapshot of voter satisfaction in real time.
Evaluating political performance remains a complex task in Ghana’s democratic system. Voters often base their daily opinions on personal interactions, economic feelings, and communication, whereas MPs focus heavily on tangible projects and parliamentary contributions.
Both public perception surveys and project audits offer valuable insights into local governance. Combining public opinion tracking with objective development metrics helps build a complete picture of parliamentary effectiveness across Ghana.
