Under The Baobab turns the spotlight on Afrobarometer. Hosts Mimi Mefo Newuh and George Okachi speak with CEO Joseph Asunka about foreign funding, political pressure, freedom of expression, and whether citizens can answer honestly when speaking out may come at a cost.
Across 38 African countries, 77% of respondents say elected leaders should follow voters' demands, yet only 17% believe their MPs actually listen. So can public opinion surveys truly capture what Africans think? And do you trust them to speak for you?
