The latest Afrobarometer report by the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) has unveiled a historic decline in public trust in Ghanaian institutions, revealing citizens' deep concerns regarding the integrity of state entities, particularly the Electoral Commission's capacity to conduct free, fair, and transparent elections.
Launched on Friday, 25 October 2024, by CDD Ghana's Director of Research, Dr.
Edem Selormey, the comprehensive report highlights a significant drop in citizens' confidence across various democratic institutions since 2012, a trend that persists despite changes in government. "Trust in key state institutions and officials has shown only marginal declines since 2022 but reflects a major drop from 2012 levels," Dr.
Selormey noted.
