Abstract: This paper examined Impact of Leap on Beneficiaries at The Weija Community in The Ga South Municipality of The Greater Accra Region. Despite significant progress in the implementation of the programmes have faced substantial operational problems, and allegations of ‘resource leakages’, political manipulation of resource allocation (for electoral or intra-party factional purposes) are common. The impact of these programmes have also been disappointing in many respects: the LEAP programme reaches a small proportion of the extremely poor, and even those households that it reaches have only seen modest improvements in health and other socio-economic outcomes as cost of living and utility bills keeps increasing. All of these questions can only be addressed by means of a careful analysis of political dynamics in Ghana’s ‘Fourth Republic’. Ghana’s polity has been described as one characterised by a ‘competitive clientelistic political settlement’ in which competitive elections and neopatrimonialist elements coexist. There is also significant debate about electoral dynamics in Ghana’s fourth republic and party political ‘branding’ and campaign strategy.
