Abstract: Abstract In September 2006, Ghanaians went to the poll to elect district assembly members for the 138 districts. Prior to the 2006 elections, district assemblies (DAs) elections were held in 1988, 1994, 1998 and 2002. It is heart warming to point out that an elective local government system has been functional for more than a decade and a half, and four consecutive free, fair, transparent and peacefully implemented general elections for constitutional democracy have also been held in Ghana.
