Since returning to constitutional democracy in 1992, Ghana has successfully organized eight
presidential and parliamentary elections. However, in Ghana’s election cycle, electoral violence
remains protracted, adversely affecting lives and properties. Similar to the previous seven elections,
victims in the electoral violence cases recorded in the 2020 elections are yet to get justice despite
persistent calls from various organizations and the public for the Ghana Police Service/National
Elections Security Task Force (GPS/NESTF) to speed up investigations and provide regular information to the public on the status of these cases. There have also been calls for the speedy trial of the cases which have been processed for court.
