With 40 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.
