Therefore, it will be difficult for the voters to take legal action to force the maker of such a document to fulfil all the promises. If we recall from 2013, the Court of Appeal held that an election manifesto is not legally enforceable.
An election manifesto is a published declaration of the intentions, motives or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or the ruling government. Most of the promises in an election manifesto include matters pertaining to efforts to improve the quality of life.
Due to this, voters need to be wary of all the promises that have been thrown at them by election candidates or political parties during the campaign period. Voters often become victims of unfulfilled promises, and the maker of such promises will go free.
