CDD-Ghana calls for new law to regulate political party financing, campaign spending

The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has called for a new legal framework to regulate political party financing, campaign spending, and internal party elections in Ghana. This call comes less than two months before the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is expected to hold its internal national executive elections, highlighting the importance of regulating campaign financing and party elections for the country's democracy.

Consultant William Nyarko of CDD-Ghana emphasized the need for clearer rules governing the financing of political campaigns and internal party contests, as the current lack of comprehensive legislation leaves important aspects of the electoral process insufficiently regulated.
