Ghana’s Commitment to Democratic Governance
Ghana’s democratic credentials have long been held in high regard, with the country consistently ranked as one of Africa’s most stable and peaceful democracies.
Since transitioning to multi-party democracy in 1992, Ghana has held eight successive peaceful elections, with power changing hands between political parties on multiple occasions.
This history of democratic stability has earned the West African nation praise from the international community, and the upcoming 2024 elections are expected to be a critical test of Ghana’s continued leadership in African democracy.
Akufo-Addo’s Call for Peace and Democratic Governance
President Akufo-Addo expressed concern over the political instability in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger, where military juntas have overthrown democratically elected governments. “Ongoing developments in West Africa are deeply troubling,” he said.
“These coups are stark reminders that democracy is, indeed, fragile and must be continually nurtured.” In contrast, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that Ghana remains resolute in its commitment to upholding democratic values and the rule of law.
“The people of Ghana, from every corner of the country, have made their voices clear: they will not tolerate any attempts to disrupt the democratic process,” he said.
