Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr Stephen Amoah, has dismissed a recent Global InfoAnalytics survey that listed him among Ghana’s perceived underperforming legislators, describing the findings as misleading and based on an inappropriate assessment of an MP’s responsibilities.
The opinion poll, conducted by research firm Global InfoAnalytics under the leadership of Mussa Dankwa, measured constituents’ perceptions of their Members of Parliament across 83 constituencies and ranked Dr Amoah among lawmakers with low approval ratings.
Addressing journalists in Parliament, Dr Amoah questioned the criteria used in the survey, arguing that several of the indicators relied upon fall outside the constitutional mandate of Members of Parliament.
According to him, issues such as exchange rate stability and road construction cannot fairly be used to assess an MP’s performance.
“What was the main or core functions of MPs that Dankwah Musa dwelt on? In my conversation with him, he said it was based on expectations of the constituency and sent me a diagram including currency, stabilisation, roads and all those things,” he said.
“I was like wow, is that the function of the MP? If currency stabilisation is not good, is it the MP? If the roads are not good, is it the MP? I think we are doing this nation a great disservice,” he added.
The Nhyiaeso legislator maintained that the survey overlooked many of the developmental initiatives and community support programmes undertaken by MPs in their constituencies.
He pointed to several projects he has personally financed, including the construction of a community library and the establishment of a health support fund for party activists and coordinators, as evidence of his commitment to the people of Nhyiaeso.
“Go and check in my own constituency. As I’m talking to you now, I’m putting up a library for a whole community with my own pocket money. There are so many things I’m doing in my constituency,” he stated.
Dr Amoah described the ranking as unfair and demoralising, insisting that both his work in Parliament and his development initiatives within the constituency place him among the country’s best-performing MPs.
“This is very, very demotivating. This is very dangerous because I believe that with my performance within six years and with the opportunity I had, I don’t think you can get more than 10 MPs to do what I’ve done,” he said.
Global InfoAnalytics survey
The June 2026 Global InfoAnalytics survey evaluated Members of Parliament based on how constituents rated their performance.
According to the survey, Nsawam/Adoagyiri MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh recorded the highest approval rating of 98%, while George Kwame Aboagye, MP for Asene-Manso-Akroso, received the lowest score of 9%.
Other highly rated legislators included the MPs for Tolon and Tain, who each scored 94%, followed by Navrongo Central with 93% and Offinso North with 91%.
The survey also identified constituencies such as Takoradi, Bosomtwe, Achiase and Bole-Bamboi among those where MPs received comparatively lower approval ratings.
Global InfoAnalytics said the survey was conducted as part of its ongoing effort to gauge public opinion on the performance of Members of Parliament across the country.
