ACCRA, GHANA, 28 August 2009: Ghana has expressed its preparedness to support Togo’s electoral process in that country’s bid to build a durable and stable democratic society. The government of Ghana has therefore decided to extend technical assistance to Togo and share its experiences in electoral practices with that country.
This was contained in a communiqué jointly issued by the governments of Ghana and Togo on Wednesday at the end of the two-day official visit to Ghana by the Togolese President, Faure Gnassingbe.
The communiqué called for closer collaboration between the Electoral Commissions of the two countries in order to map out strategies which would always ensure free, fair and transparent elections devoid of violence and rancour in their respective countries.
The communiqué said the two Presidents appreciated recent developments in the democratic process in Togo, in particular the recent reforms in the electoral code and the restructuring of the independent Electoral Commission for violence-free presidential election in 2010, according to the Daily Graphic.
