Background
Political manifestos are a cornerstone of electoral campaigns, serving as a contract between political parties and the voters. However, the absence of legal mechanisms to enforce these commitments has led to a growing disconnect between electoral promises and governmental actions. Such discrepancies undermine public confidence in democratic institutions and erode the integrity of the electoral process.
