League Table? This report launches the results of Ghana’s second ever annual District League Table (DLT). The DLT is a simple ranking tool of progress toward delivering development and key basic services in each of Ghana’s Districts. It is based on global practice of developing indices for measuring and monitoring progress1. This report, the District League Table, and all the data that was used to compile it are available on the website: http://www.unicef.org/ghana/. While reporting is in place to monitor District compliance with their administrative and statutory requirements or procedures, the DLT focuses rather on Ghana’s actual performance in delivering development for its citizens. It looks at progress in achieving key outputs in sectors including health and education and then aggregates this information into a single index. With this index, each District in the country is then ranked to see which Districts are doing well and which are lagging behind. 2.1 The Objective The ultimate objective of the District League Table is to increase social accountability in 1For example, see the Child Development Index and the Human Develop- ment Index among others.

    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 has been 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 included, actors, motives, timing, consequences, and patterns. The paper adopted the content analysis method in its investigation of the two violent by-elections in Ghana. The paper revealed that there was a correlation between violence during by-elections and victories of incumbent parties. This was 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 impacted 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 was 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.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This is a study of the processes through which the former Togoland Trust Territory has come to constitute an integral part of modern Ghana. As the section of the country that was most recently appended, the territory has often seemed the most likely candidate for the eruption of separatist tendencies. The comparative weakness of such tendencies, in spite of economic crisis and governmental failure, deserves closer examination. This study adopts an approach which is local in focus (the area being Likpe), but one which endeavours at every stage to link the analysis to unfolding processes at the Regional and national levels.

The PVT methodology is a reliable tool available to independent and non-partisan citizens’ election observer groups around the world for verifying the accuracy of official presidential elections results. In keeping with our protocols, which is that CODEO releases its PVT findings after the official results have been announced by the Electoral Commission, CODEO is here to release its PVT estimates for the presidential election. CODEO’s PVT estimates for the presidential results form part of its comprehensive election observation activities for the 2020 elections that covered voter registration exercise, pre-election environment observation for three months (September to November), and election day observation. The PVT Methodology The PVT is an advanced and scientific election observation technique that combines well-established statistical principles and Information Communication Technology (ICT) to observe elections. The PVT involves deploying trained accredited Observers to a nationally representative random sample of polling stations. On Election-Day, PVT Observers observe the entire polling process and transmit reports about the conduct of the polls and the official vote count in real-time to a central election observation database, using the Short Message Service (SMS) platform.

CODEO has an observer each in 100 randomly and purposively selected constituencies spread across the 16 regions of the country. During Phase One of the registration exercise (June 30-July 5) which just ended, each observer followed one EC registration team and observed the process at one registration center throughout the six days. Observers filed daily observation reports to the CODEO Secretariat in Accra. In addition to the 100 stationery observers, CODEO also had a few roaming observers in the Greater Accra region who observed the registration exercise at some centers in the national capital. In assessing the conduct of the exercise, all CODEO observers are required to observe and report on some key indicators such as the location of registration centers, availability of registration materials, availability and functioning of BVR kits, conduct of registration officials and other stakeholders such as political party agents and registration applicants, and adherence to registration rules and regulations. Observers are also to watch the extent of adherence to COVID-19 health and safety protocols including those instituted by the EC at registration centers. At the end of Phase One of the registration exercise, the CODEO Secretariat received a total of 575 daily observation reports from 100 constituencies from the 30th of June to July 5, 2020.
