The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Beauty Emefa Narteh, has stressed the need for a law to be passed to regulate political campaign financing in the country.
Speaking to GhanaWeb TV during a National Forum on Post-Election Accountability on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, she noted that such a law is necessary, as it would promote transparency and prevent foreign nationals from influencing the democratic process through financial contributions to political parties. "If you look at the cost of campaigns and compare it with the audited accounts political parties submit to the EC, there is a deep disparity.
We ask ourselves, where are they getting that money, and how is it accounted for? "We need to put in place a strong law that regulates campaign financing so we know where the money is coming from.
If you take our Political Parties Act, it clearly states that we should know the sources of funding.
