Ghana Special Prosecutor Monitors 2024 Elections

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in Ghana is set to deploy officers to over 40,000 polling stations for the presidential elections on December 7, 2024, to monitor and combat corruption and electoral fraud. Led by Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, the OSP plans to enforce strict anti-corruption measures, warning election officials that falsifying vote counts is a serious offense. The office has reminded the public that engaging in acts like vote-buying, intimidation, and impersonation is illegal and will be met with immediate action. This proactive stance aims to ensure free, fair, and credible elections, with a focus on preventing and addressing any misconduct that could undermine the electoral process. Recent reports indicate controversies surrounding food distribution to voters by candidates, raising further concerns about electoral integrity. The OSP's commitment underscores its pivotal role in safeguarding the sanctity of the upcoming elections.
