Atta Mills Institute joins ECOWAS for observer mission in Benin

The Atta Mills Institute (AMI) for Civic Education and Public Policy Advocacy, has once again been invited by ECOWAS to join a Team of Elections Observers which will be in, Benin, between 8-14 April, 2021, to observe the country’s Presidential elections scheduled to take place on the 11th of April, 2021.

The elections, which will elect the President of the Republic of Benin for a five year term, has the incumbent, President Patrice Talon, seeking a second term in office.

It would be recalled that between the 14th – 20th October, 2020, the AMI was in Guinea, Conakry, as part of an ECOWAS Observer Team to observe the Presidential and Provincial elections of that country.

Also, later in 2020, the AMI was accredited as one of the 27 Local and International Observer Groups mandated to observe Ghana’s December 07, Presidential and Parliamentary elections which was deemed to have been free and fair by all the Teams.

"The AMI remains humbled by the local and international recognition that God is bringing our way, and we appreciate the ECOWAS invitation.

"The AMI Team is being led by, the Founder and CEO, Samuel Koku Anyidoho, and he is being accompanied by, Maxwell Okamafo Addo, a Technical Director at the AMI.

"Ipso facto, the presence of Koku Anyidoho and AMI Team in Benin, will further enhance the international image of the Institute.

"We remain grateful to God for his grace and mercies upon the path we have chosen to walk; and it is our fervent prayer that more illuminating opportunities shall shine our way so we continue to serve God and Country the best way possible.

"We are most grateful to all Individuals and Groups for the unrelenting support towards seeing us grow from strength to strength".
