The dynamics of politics in Africa are changing, Scholar Franklin Cudjoe writes
Mr Franklin Cudjoe is the President, IMANI Africa

From Senegal to Kenya, civilian governments are being stretched to their limits on the altars of accountability by active citizens, and the results have been positive.

Even young military leaders in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are trusted by civilians because they kept their word on being open and transparent. Hopefully, they'll be back on the road to democracy.

 Enter Ghana in 2025- From a manifesto that humanises solutions to basic problems of want and access to healthcare, education and food, to a jargon and slogan-free budget that simply prioritises allocations,

however small, to the little good human-centred things promised in the manifesto, the overriding outcome of our recent election is that our president, John Mahama, is redefining politics in Ghana from being portrayed as full of deception and sleaze to belief in keeping one's word.

 It may be early days yet, but long may it continue.

We will be watching and offering suggestions to straighten forked paths, the government may travel, with our incisive and no holds barred commentary. 

Finally, I will urge the main opposition party, especially those "mighty few" representatives in Parliament, to be more strategic and coherent in offering alternative visions of a future government that learnt from their many missteps. 

They must keep it simple, truthful, and participatory." 

The Writer, Franklin Cudjoe, is the President of IMANI Africa
