Question

Explain five ways political parties promote democracy in Ghana​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electoral democracy: Good electoral management and a political party code of conduct have been established. Elections have been fair. However, there are complaints of Electoral Commission (EC) bias towards the government, minority party under-representation, and a lack of democratic practices within political parties.

Media, civil society and oversight institutions: The media is generally free and civil society is active. Oversight institutions hold the government accountable despite lacking adequate resources. Critics complain of media intimidation, lack of quality reporting outside cities, and inadequate media access for all political parties.  Government consultation and information sharing is still weak.

Citizenship and Discrimination: The citizenship rights process is generally fair. The Government has established an affirmative action policy although it has been poorly implemented. Ctizens in the poorer north still feel excluded from national politics.

Parliament: Performance, political balance and stability have improved. Many members are well-educated and capable. Ongoing issues include inadequate funding, high member turnover, absenteeism, lateness and the need for more capable, experienced legislators.

Regional and Local Government: Decentralisation has created district assemblies, regional coordinating councils and devolved authorities. In an effort to de-politicise local processes, the government has barred political parties from participation in district elections, which is seen by many as undemocratic. The decentralisation process remains incoherent and incomplete, and district-level consultation with citizens is non-existent or ineffective.
