Frederick Adu-Gyamfi of CDD-Ghana warns that rising costs of seeking political office could exclude capable citizens from meaningful democratic participation, particularly young people, women, and persons with disabilities who lack financial resources to compete effectively. He stressed the need to ensure financial resources do not replace integrity and commitment in politics, and called for examination of campaign funding sources and obligations created between political actors and their financiers.
The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development organised a workshop in Kumasi for media practitioners on regulating political party financing, aiming to help journalists promote transparency and accountability. CDD-Ghana highlighted that political financing is a fundamental issue of democratic accountability and electoral integrity, noting that the public knows little about where political parties' resources come from and how much is raised and spent.
