Mrs Jean Mensa, Chairperson, Electoral Commission of Ghana

The West Africa Network of Election Observers (WANEO), in collaboration with the Defence Network for Democracy (DEFNED) and other Pan-African civil society organisations, has applauded the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) for ‘outstanding commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusivity’ in the ongoing preparations for Ghana's 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

In a press statement signed by Rev. Kingsley Oheneba Amoah-Asihene, Executive Director of WANEO, the organisation commended the EC’s efforts in fostering stakeholder involvement in the electoral process, specifically in the ‘creation of a credible nationwide voters register’.

WANEO pointed out the EC's role in ensuring that all relevant actors, including political parties, civil society organisations, and the general public, are actively engaged in the democratic process.

WANEO expressed its appreciation for the EC’s administrative innovations, which it said have strengthened public trust in the electoral system.
