The dataset was created from three main sources in Ghana: The Functional Organizational Assessment (FOAT) data was obtained from the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development; the electoral data was obtained from the website of Ghana's Electoral Commission and various media houses; and the data on district characteristics were taken from the 2010 Population and Housing Census conducted by the Government. I use this data to investigate the relationship between the degree of voter attachments to political parties and political accountability in new democracies.
