Ben Abdallah Banda was part of a delegation from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association branch in the UK Parliament which observed eight constituencies across the country over during the final week of the General Election – including North Norfolk.

The Election Assessment Mission (EAM), which is made up of parliamentarians and election officials from across the Commonwealth, observed the election day procedures and met with candidates, returning officers, electoral officials and staff, civil society groups and other stakeholders.

Mr Banda said: 'It has been very enjoyable. North Norfolk is a very wonderful place to be. I've been to a couple of places and when I leave here for Ghana on Saturday I want to get another invitation to come back to the UK and specifically come back to North Norfolk and settle and have a very broader view of North Norfolk because it's been a very fantastic place to be.'
