Abstract:

This study ascertained the views of civil society and politicians regarding the need for state financing of

political parties in Ghana. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results. We found that that,

while party executives endorsed state financing of political parties, civil society held a contrary view.

Civil society also indicated that state funding of political parties could lead to political corruption

whereas party executives disagreed on that score. Both civil society and party executives were of the

opinion that political parties should be accountable to the public through disclosure of their sources of

funds, expenditure and other activities.
