Ghana goes to the polls to elect a president and members of parliament on 7th December. It will be the country’s eighth successive general election since the resumption of multiparty democracy in 1992. It is predicted that once again this will be a close competition between incumbent president Nana Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party and former president John Mahama of the opposition party National Democratic Congress. How are things shaping up ahead of the polls?

Ghana is seen as a beacon of democracy in West Africa and has had vigorously contested elections that have generally been free and fair with high voter participation. What are the economic, political and societal issues that will be important for Ghanaians in this election? How has the sitting government handled the Covid-19 pandemic and will the activities of the secessionist group in Western Togoland be an important issue when it comes to security politics and the ruling party's said commitment to stability?

In the panel:

- Prof. Henry K. Prempeh, Executive Director at Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-GH) where he focuses on law, politics and civil society.

- Dr. Kwasi Amakye-Boateng, Lecturer of Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science and Technology where he focuses on politics in Ghana, governance, leaderhip and security.

Last panelist TBA!
