I Pray For More Hung Parliaments in Ghana – Gyimah Boadi

Professor Emmanuel Gyimah-Boadi, the chair of the governing board of Afrobarometer and co-founder of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), has said he wishes Ghana continues to have a hung Parliament.

He said this will help cure the winner-takes-all system and help shape the country’s democratic process.

Speaking with Kent Mensah on Sunday Night on Asaase Radio, Professor Gyimah-Boadi said: “… I pray for more hung Parliaments. I think that is exactly what Ghana and Ghanaian democratic politics needed. It’s the kind of cure that we need for winner-takes-all.

“It is the kind of environment that we need in order to learn the habit of consensus building, cross-party consultation and compromise; because if the Majority and Minority sides don’t have the numbers, hopefully rather than go to war they will learn to talk.”
