ABSTRACT


The study compares electoral reforms and their implications on democratization in Nigeria
and Ghana: in the light of the trends of knowledge on comparative African democratization,
where Ghana is largely seen to be consolidated unlike Nigeria; and which had not taken into
cognisance the electoral developments in Nigeria between 2010 and 2015. Extent Literature
on comparative African democratization, while not being updated as observed, also had not
contextualised electoral reforms and democratization in Nigeria and Ghana, between 2010
and 2015. While being guide by the propositions of systems theory and employs secondary
method of data collection, the study utilises the descriptive method of content analysis in
validating the research hypotheses. Having known that the democratizing process offers
opportunities for electoral reforms to correct observed weaknesses and improve the
effectiveness of electoral administration in the governance of the state, we recommend that
democratic space should be maintain for viable opposition, which only enhance political
power alternation and competitive party politics.
