Swapo’s ChatGPT manifesto fails to address issues – Tyitende

Rui Tyitende

Political scientist Rui Tyitende has described Swapo’s manifesto, which was launched in Windhoek on Saturday, as an empty “ChatGPT manifesto”.

It fails to address socio-economic issues, he says.

Swapo said it has budgeted an amount of N$85 billion for the next five years if voted into power again.

“Swapo’s manifesto speaks to the crisis and poverty of ideas within the party. It has exhausted all its ideas and is unable to develop new ones,” Tyitende says.

He says out of all parties, Swapo had the easiest task of crafting a solid manifesto anchored in what it has achieved over the last 34 years, dissecting the current socio-economic challenges, and a comprehensive strategy to address the current challenges.

“There is no difference between their manifesto of 1989 and that of 2024. It is an empty and ChatGPT manifesto as it fails to address structural socio-economic issues with a sense of urgency. If this is what a Nandi-Ndaitwah presidency would look like, then we are not going anywhere, but remain stuck in the mud,” he says
