The West Africa Election Observers Network (WAEON), comprising 13 member organizations
from West African countries, convened a two-day General Assembly and Executive Council
meeting from August 26 – 27, 2024.
The meeting was to foster solidarity among member organizations to address the growing threats to electoral integrity and domestic election observers in the region. WAEON also used this opportunity to assess the pressing issues concerning democracy, governance, and the socio-political landscape in West Africa.
WAEON also expressed concerns about the growing citizens’ distrust of political and governance
institutions and actors, which are at an all-time high according to the Afrobarometer Surveys and made recommendations to deal with the issues identified.
