Organised by the International Development Department and the Centre for Elections, Democracy, Accountability and Representations of the University of Birmingham, and Democracy in Africa.
One of the final polls in the Year of Elections – during which more than 2 billion people will participate in elections in over 50 countries worldwide – will take place in Ghana. This round table brings together leading researchers and commentators to ask what issues will drive the campaigns, what concerns – if any – people have about the quality of the process, and what outcomes are most likely.
