ECOWAS DEPLOYS PRE-ELECTION FACT-FINDING MISSION TO GHANA 23-07-24
By Sadiq Aminu Ahead of Ghana’s General Elections scheduled for 7th December 2024, the Economic Community of West African States ECOWAS has deployed a Pre-election Fact-finding Mission to assess the country’s state of preparedness for the polls.
The Mission is under the leadership of ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security Ambassador Abdel-Fatau MUSAH.
A statement by the ECOWAS Commission in Abuja explains that the Mission will be supported by a technical team of the ECOWAS Directorate of Political Affairs.
It says the delegation will hold working sessions with various stakeholders in Ghana’s electoral process, including the Government, the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the Judiciary, the Parliament, Political Parties, Civil Society Organizations, Security Agencies, and International Development Partners.
At the end of its engagements, the Mission will submit a comprehensive report, which would inform ECOWAS’ support for the 2024 electoral process in Ghana.
The ECOWAS Commission provided similar support to the country during the last elections held in 2020.
