  • Second CODEO Pre-Election Observation Report
    Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) CONTACT Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected]: Website: www.codeoghana.org SECOND PRE-ELECTION ENVIRONMENT OBSERVATION STATEMENT STATEMENT ON THE VOTER REGISTER Introduction The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) is pleased to release its second pre- election observation report, which captures key observations of the pre-election environment during the month of October 2020, ahead of the December 7, 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections of Ghana. The report is based on weekly reports filed by 65 Long-Term Observers (LTOs) deployed across 65 selected constituencies throughout the country. The observers have been monitoring the general electoral and political environment including the activities of key election stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission (EC), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), political parties, the security agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and religious and traditional leaders. Below are key findings from CODEO’s observation during the period. Summary of Findings: • Similar to CODEO’s observations in the month of September 2020, civic and voter education activities were generally low across the various constituencies. • There continues to be generally low visibility of election support activities by CSOs, particularly those aimed at peace promotion. • COVID-19 health and safety protocols were not adhered to during some political party activities. • The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remain the most visible political parties in the constituencies observed as far as political and campaign- related activities are concerned. Main Findings Preparatory Activities by the Electoral Commission Observer reports showed intensified preparatory activities by the EC towards the December 7, 2020 elections.

  • Election Security and Violence in Ghana: the Case of Ayawaso West Wougon and Talensi By-Elections
    Election Security and Violence in Ghana: The case of Ayawaso West Wougon and Talensi By-Elections Abstract Conducts of by-elections in recent times have been fraught with a lot of security challenges. This is as a result of the violence that characterized the conduct of by-elections recent times in Ghana. Violence during by-elections in Ghana plays a vital role in securing election victories for political parties. In all the by-elections characterized by violence in Ghana, they were won by parties that were accused of inciting the violence. The main tenets of election violence as identified by the paper include, actors, motives, timing, consequences, and patterns. The paper reveals that there is a correlation between violence during by-elections and victories of incumbent parties. This is because, in the two by-elections understudy, those accused of starting the violence and using national security operatives won the elections. The paper also found out that by-election violence impacts negatively on Ghana’s democratic maturity in several ways, such as; low voter turnout, weakening of democratic foundation and breeding an atmosphere of insecurity. Finally, the paper also revealed that political parties especially those in government resort to violence during by-elections in Ghana because they fear losing it will mean the government is underperforming as argued out by Feigert and Norris and also because they want to add to their tally in parliament. Keywords: Election security, election violence, by-elections, Ghana 1 Introduction Elections undisputedly have become the most significant and popular tool through which political office holders are selected across the globe.

  • Who Really Governs Urban Ghana?
    COUNTERPOINTS The Counterpoints series presents a critical account of defining ideas, in and about Africa. The scope is broad, from international development policy to popular perceptions of the continent. Counterpoints address “Big Picture” questions, without the constraints of prevailing opinion and orthodoxy. The arguments are forward-looking but not speculative, informed by the present yet concerned with the future. In publishing this series, Africa Research Institute hopes to foster competing ideas, discussion and debate. The views expressed in Counterpoints are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of Africa Research Institute. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The manuscript was edited by Jamie Hitchen and Edward Paice. Design and typesetting by Niki Wolfe. Photo credit: Eric Carlson. Africa Research Institute would like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Richard Smith, Chairman of the Trustees. Published by Africa Research Institute, January 2016. understanding Africa today Ghana is one of Africa’s most urbanised – and rapidly urbanising – countries. In the past three decades, the number of city dwellers has risen from four to 14 million; more than 5.5 million live in slums. Urban growth exerts intense pressure on government and municipal authorities to provide infrastructure, affordable housing, public services and jobs. It has exacerbated informality, inequality, underdevelopment and political patronage. Some commentators warn of an impending urban crisis. Policymakers and international donors continue to prescribe better urban planning, slum upgrading, infrastructure investment and “capacity building” to “fix” African cities. While these are necessary, the success of any urban strategy depends on an informed appraisal of the political dynamics of urban neighbourhoods that define governance in Ghana’s cities.

  • 1 'We Only Vote but Do Not Know' the Social
    ‘WE ONLY VOTE BUT DO NOT KNOW’ THE SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS OF PARTISANSHIP IN GHANA By KEVIN S. FRIDY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Kevin S. Fridy 2 To Sarah 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Though the process of writing a dissertation can feel like a solitary affair at three o’clock in the morning with a deadline fast approaching and several pages still to be written before dawn, the process of retrospection that accompanies the writing of an “acknowledgments” section brings with it valuable perspective. In hindsight I can see that the actual writing of my dissertation only seemed so tedious and mind-numbing at times because it kept me away from the people who brought so much joy to the practice of discovery which surrounded all those solitary hours behind the computer. These individuals bear no responsibility for the mistakes I have made in cobbling together a social story of Ghanaian party politics, but they deserve much of the credit for whatever the dissertation’s redeeming qualities. During my field work in Ghana I simultaneously incurred so many debts of gratitude and was such a poor record keeper that there are many people who deserve thanks but will not receive it individually. To all the random Ghanaians in Odododiodio, Bantama, and Nabdam constituencies who took time out of their busy schedules to answer a survey questionnaire I give thanks. To all the secretaries who turned the waiting room television away from Nigerian movies and to BBC for my sake and made sure I left their office building with both the name and personal cell phone number of the individual I needed to speak with I give thanks.

Dr. Isaac Owusu Mensah Co - Supervisor Date:……………………….. i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT Since 1992, Ghana has engaged in competitive elections that have produced interesting results. However, violence has characterized most of the elections which have undermined their competitiveness. The two constituencies, Odododiodioo and Akwatia have been cited to notorious election violence areas. Relying on the empirical data from these constituencies, the study found that the two dominant political parties, the NPP and NDC have demonstrated persistence intolerance. The parties have resorted to ethnic mobilization in their campaigns. The NDC has appealed to the minority settlers of the northern descent whilst the NPP has appealed to the Akan natives.

  • Joseph Whittal (Commissioner)
    THE COMMISSIONER, COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE, OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE, ACCRA. ATTN: JOSEPH WHITTAL (COMMISSIONER). COMPLAINT BY: SAMUEL OKUDZETO ABLAKWA (MP) AND EMMANUEL ARMAH-KOFI BUAH (MP). RE: INVESTIGATION INTO ELECTION VIOLENCE AND THE KILLING OF CITIZENS DURING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS. ARTICLE 218(a) OF THE 1992 CONSTITUTION & SECTION 7(1)(a) OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE ACT, 1993 (ACT 456). I. INTRODUCTION. A. Invoking the mandate of the Commission. 1. Regulation 1 of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (Investigations Procedure) Regulations, 2010 (C.I. 67) requires the constitutional Page 1 of 18 mandate of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice be invoked by complaint to the Commission. See Regulation 1(1) of CI 67. 2. For the sake of convenience, we shall hereafter refer to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice simply as the “Commission” and the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (Investigations Procedure) Regulations, 2010 (C.I. 67) as “CI 67” or “the regulations”. 3. The law is that the use of the word “complaints” in article 218(a) of the 1992 Constitution is “limited to formal complaints made to the Commission…” See: Republic v High Court (Fast Track Division) Accra; Ex parte Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (Richard Anane-Interested Party) [2007- 2008] 1 SCGLR 213. It is for this reason the instant complaint is formally lodged in this manner. B. Complainants and capacity. 1. In the case of Republic v High Court (Fast Track Division) Accra; Ex parte Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (Richard Anane-Interested Party) [2007-2008] 1 SCGLR 213 at page 260, the Supreme Court held that the formal complaint required to invoke the mandate of the Commission may be made “by an identifiable complainant; not necessarily the victim, but an identifiable complainant, armed with the complaint.” Id at page 260.
