§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the recent presidential and parliamentary elections in Ghana. [8912]
§ Dr. Liam FoxOur assessment is that these elections were free, fair and transparent. The Commonwealth and EU observers have issued statements indicating that they share this assessment. I am placing these in the Library of the House. I understand that other international observers have reached similar conclusions. We congratulate the Ghanaian people on this reaffirmation on democratic values.
