US Imposes Visa Restrictions on Individuals Undermining Ghana's Democracy

The policy targets those responsible for democratic disruptions ahead of Ghana's December elections.

The United States has announced a visa restriction policy for individuals deemed to undermine democracy in Ghana.
The restrictions come ahead of Ghana's presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for December 7.
The policy is aimed at specific individuals and not the Ghanaian government or its people.
Concerns about voter roll irregularities have raised fears of potential democratic backsliding in Ghana.
Similar visa restrictions were imposed by the US ahead of Nigeria's general election last year.
