Since transitioning to multi-party democracy in 1992, Ghana has held eight successive peaceful elections, with power changing hands between political parties on multiple occasions. This history of democratic stability has earned the West African nation praise from the international community, and the upcoming 2024 elections are expected to be a critical test of Ghana\u2019s continued leadership in African democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Electoral Commission, supported by Ghana\u2019s security services, is well-equipped to ensure that the will of the Ghanaian people is respected,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said.
