The Electoral Commissioner of Uganda, Mr. Anthony Okello, praised Ghana’s electoral integrity during a December 2024 interview. He highlighted Ghana’s ballot validation method and the use of Biometric Verification Devices to ensure the proper functioning of its electoral system, setting a standard for other African nations to follow.

The Electoral Commissioner of Uganda, Mr. Anthony Okello, expressed his admiration for Ghana’s electoral processes during an interview on GhanaWeb TV on December 7, 2024. Serving as an observer, Mr. Okello noted that Ghana’s robust verification system stands as a model for electoral practices across Africa, emphasizing the importance of credibility in elections. He highlighted the practice of validating all ballot papers before distribution to voters, a measure that enhances electoral integrity.

Mr. Okello pointed out that this validation process mitigates the risk of invalid votes, thereby ensuring that any anomalies in the ballot box can be readily identified. Furthermore, he commended the implementation of Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) which play a crucial role in preventing unauthorized voting. “You are relying on the machine for verification, and you want to ensure credibility, and you will not have strangers,” he stated.

He elaborated on how these devices ensure that individuals who have not registered at a polling station are unable to cast their votes, reinforcing the integrity of the electoral process. The use of facial recognition and codes in the voting system was praised for its effectiveness and transparency in validating voters. Mr. Okello’s insights reflect the critical importance of implementing robust electoral systems in enhancing democratic governance within the continent.

The topic of Ghana’s electoral process highlights the growing interest in electoral integrity across Africa, especially in light of various challenges faced during elections in many countries. Observers like Mr. Anthony Okello offer an external perspective that underscores successful practices that could inspire reforms in the electoral frameworks of other nations. The technological advancements in voter verification illustrate a pathway toward ensuring fairer elections, addressing issues such as voter fraud and unauthorized participation, which plague many electoral systems globally.

In conclusion, Mr. Anthony Okello’s assessment of Ghana’s electoral processes reveals a commendable commitment to ensuring fair, transparent, and credible elections. The effective use of ballot validation and biometric verification technologies serves as a potential roadmap for other African nations striving to improve their electoral integrity. Ghana’s approach, as noted by an international observer, stands as an encouraging example within the region, fostering hopes for enhanced democratic practices.
