Growing mistrust – a threat to democracy in Ghana: opportunities and challenges in the upcoming general elections
The Nordic Africa Institute, Research Unit.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-3352-6151
2016 (English)Report (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

In comparison with other African countries, faith in democracy is strong in Ghana. But the legal tussles that followed the last general election in 2012, and the disqualification of some candidates on trifling grounds in the lead-up to this year’s presidential elections, has spurred public mistrust. This policy note issues a warning about hate speech, violent demonstrations and macho-men militias.
