Barely 6% of Women Get Elected in District-level Elections in Ghana: Media Must Help Change the Narrative

Women form 50.7% of Ghana’s population but just about six percent of them get elected in District-level elections. Analysis of two data sets obtained from the National Association of Local Authorities of Ghana (NALAG), and the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, through a Right to Information request, show that since 1994, about 2,059 females have been elected in total as against a staggering 34,460 males.
