Ghana’s upcoming December 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections mark another crucial moment for democracy and governance in Africa. As Ghana prepares for its 9th consecutive general election since the return to democratic rule in 1992, it stands as a beacon of stability in West Africa—a region recently shaken by military coups in neighboring countries.

This forum brings together scholars, politicians, activists, journalists, and members of the African diaspora to discuss the significance of Ghana’s 2024 elections on democratic governance and development. Additionally, it will examine Ghana’s current political and economic climate, exploring how these dynamics may shape the country’s democratic future and the broader implications for democracy and development in Africa.
