The Africa Institute on Governance and Security (AIGS) has raised alarm over a new survey indicating that 39% of Ghanaian voters have lost interest in democracy.
The findings, conducted by Global Info Analytics, highlight a growing crisis of confidence in Ghana’s political system as the country gears up for the 2028 elections.
In a statement, AIGS urged the Ghanaian government and democratic institutions to act swiftly in restoring public trust.
“This alarming statistic underscores a significant erosion of public faith in the democratic process, posing a critical challenge to Ghana’s governance framework,” said the statement.
The Institute emphasized the need for renewed commitments to transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance, particularly among young Ghanaians.
“The youth are the future of this vibrant democracy, and it is imperative that their concerns are addressed to prevent further disengagement,” Dr. Boakye-Danquah added. As a regional leader in democratic governance, Ghana must reinforce its institutions and foster greater civic participation, AIGS noted.
AIGS is calling on all stakeholders to prioritize initiatives that strengthen democratic institutions and empower citizens to actively shape their nation’s future.
