It is true that since its successful inauguration more than a decade ago, ANEC has gone through rather difficult periods. First of all, there is the persistent problem of funds allocated by the authorities. The complaint is indeed quite frequent – but very few similar organs are ready to admit to have all the funds necessary for the execution of their mission at their disposal. One cannot, however, forget that in 2006 and 2007 the issue of the prompt deployment of funds was raised, with many observers thinking that the authorities have not shown all the diligence it required in this regard. Some branches of the electoral body complained about the slow dispatch of election materials to zones located in the interior part of the country. In 2007, ANEC was faced with some internal problems connected to the conditions in which its chairman would have made some deals, so that he was dismissed by his counterparts 4 days to his first round of elections. All these vicissitudes are of course regrettable and the electoral commission of Benin would have avoided them. Considering the main mission of the electoral commission, which is stabilization and transparency of elections, the outcome of the assessment is also rather positive. In spite of some problems in the organization of local elections of 2008, the country has not had any post-election crisis in relation to the election itself. Similar observations apply to the electoral commission of Ghana. It has rather religiously followed the various electoral processes initiated by the country even if it equally complains of its relatively low resources. The available data are a revelation of the recurrence of problems to dispatch election materials. Nevertheless, the legality of the commission is to a very large extent admitted, to the point that one can also in this case talk of its success in the administration of elections. 89
