In this comprehensive report, we will delve into the post-election issues faced by five African nations: Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana, and Uganda. These countries have recently witnessed significant political transitions, which have brought about both hopes for change and numerous obstacles along the way.

The report will explore how Ghana successfully manages these challenges, ensuring a peaceful transition of power and maintaining stability within the country.

Uganda: From Political Repression to Youth Mobilization
