Ghana’s 2020 election results were contested in court, but the petition was ultimately dismissed in early 2021. The country’s first hung parliament led to heightened deliberations throughout the year, but particularly around the electronic transactions levy introduced in November. The disruption of a paralegal training session on responding to violations against lgbtq people, the closure and raiding of Ghana’s first lgbt+ centre, the introduction of an anti-lgbtq bill in parliament, and attacks on protesters and reporters by the police or military thrust the country into global dialogues on human rights considerations. Twitter announced Ghana as the new headquarters of its Africa operations, and Ghana hired a German firm to develop an e-cedi digital currency.
