2012, 2016 election petition and reforms for future elections: Has the EC learnt to avoid violence?

Nevertheless, these were not implemented to guide the 2016 general elections.
· One may ask why were the reform proposals not implemented? And what is the way forward for future elections in the country?
Ghana's electoral processes have undergone several reforms since 1992, as a result of elite consensus and a series of submitted and implemented reform proposals.
In 1992, the parties that lost the presidential election and boycotted the subsequent parliamentary polls threatened to refrain from participating in all future elections unless there was satisfactory electoral reform.
The politically charged environment at that time threatened Ghana's drive towards democratisation, as periodic elections are crucial in any journey towards democratic maturity.
