In this conversation, Vera Abena Addo and Katharina Weber reflect on the state of democracy in Ghana, with a particular focus on the 2024 national elections and broader political dynamics. While Ghana is widely recognised as a stable democracy, Addo points to the need for more accountability, deeper political inclusion, and social justice, especially for young people. She highlights the rise of the #FixTheCountry movement, which calls for a constitutional reform and a more accountable system of governance. Ghana stands out as a political system where strong chieftaincies coexist with democratic institutions—raising ongoing debates about how these structures might be more formally integrated. The conversation examines the European Union’s role in supporting democracy-strengthening initiatives in Ghana, particularly as part of broader efforts to address migration pre-emptively. Speaking from her dual role as activist and programme officer for elections at the Ghana Center for Democratic Development, Addo highlights the crucial role of youth and women in shaping a more participatory and responsive democracy.
