With 39 days remaining until the 2024 elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) has become one of the least trusted public institutions in Ghana.

The latest Afrobarometer survey reveals that public perception of the EC as corrupt is on the rise.

While the EC is responsible for organizing the December 7 elections in a fair, impartial, and transparent manner, only 28% of respondents expressed trust in the Commission.

This marks a significant decline from the 59% trust level it enjoyed in 2012.

The survey also highlights the Ghana Police Service as the most corrupt public institution, followed by the office of the President, tax officials, Members of Parliament, and judges.

Conversely, the Ghana Armed Forces, religious and traditional leaders, and Non-Governmental Organizations emerged as the most trusted institutions.

Additionally, the report revealed that honesty, character, and campaign promises will be the main factors influencing voter decisions in the upcoming 2024 elections.

According to the survey, a significant 90% of respondents place high importance on a candidate’s honesty, while 88% emphasise character, and 59% consider campaign promises relevant.

This data highlights a strong preference among Ghanaian voters for personal integrity and ethical qualities over political pledges alone.
