Governance

One row per parliamentary constituency (276) with the result of Ghana's 7 December 2024 presidential election: votes for the NPP (Mahamudu Bawumia) and NDC (John Dramani Mahama) candidates, the other eleven candidates combined, rejected ballots, votes cast, registered voters and turnout (votes cast as a percentage of registered voters), with the region and district the constituency lies in. Figures are counts of votes as recorded on the Electoral Commission's Form Ten summary sheets; the other candidates are not itemised. Ablekuma North has no votes because the EC had not declared its result (its 10 January 2025 release covers 275 constituencies), and three constituencies lack the other-candidate or rejected-ballot figure; notes explains each gap.

How much of the District Assemblies Common Fund was released to each of Ghana's 261 metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, one row per assembly and quarter, from Q1 2012 to Q1 2026, in Ghana cedis, as published on the DACF Administrator's portal. There is a level break in 2025: releases jump from about GH¢0.4–0.6bn a year to GH¢4.4bn because from 2025 the government pays at least 80% of the Fund directly to assemblies (the Finance Minister said only 40–50% reached them in 2017–2024), so compare years before and after 2025 with care. Q4 2024 is 0 for every assembly as published (the portal's 2024 total covers Q1–Q3 only), later quarters not yet released are left out, and historical releases carry today's assembly names, so a row before the 2018–2019 splits belongs to the larger parent assembly; district is matched to the catalogue's district boundaries and is NULL for Guan, which has none.
