During the pre-election period, 75 percent of CODEO observations, recorded by the 138 LTO observers during bi-weekly observation periods, noted that political parties did not feature women in their campaign platform or as a leading speaker during that bi-weekly period. At the high end, the NPP party was observed including a woman in their platform or as a leading speaker in 210 observations, 39 for the NDC party, and 2 for the CPP party. These observations show that women were significantly less visible than men in the election campaigns.
