The European Union deployed an Election Follow-up Mission (EFM) to Ghana on 5 September 2019. The Mission is led by Mr. Tamas Meszerics, Chief Observer of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) for the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections in Ghana.

 

The main objectives of the Follow-up Mission are to assess the degree to which the EU EOM recommendations have been implemented, as well as to discuss ways to achieve further progress in this regard. The 2016 recommendations were based on an impartial assessment of all aspects of the electoral process and guided by regional and international standards for elections.

 

The Mission met with the Ghana Electoral Commission, the leadership of Parliament and political parties, constitutional bodies and government agencies, civil society organisations, media and the international community.
