Supporting the Electoral Process in Ghana, Results of the 1996 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections , 7 December 1996

The announcement critiques the 1996 general elections in Ghana and discusses the successes and problems with the election. The report details 19 reasons why the elections were flawed and rigged, most stemming from the relationship between the NDC (ruling party) and the Central Election Committee. The report finishes by displaying the parliamentary election winners by region and party.
