The Ghanaian electoral commission on Wednesday named the incumbent 76-year-old President, Nana Akufo-Addo, the winner of the country’s presidential election.
Akufo-Addo from the centre-right New Patriotic Party (NPP) defeated his opponent and predecessor of the centre-left National Democratic Congress (NDC) with 51.59% of the vote. It is expected that this will be his second and final term in accordance with the Ghanaian constitution.
According to AFP, more than 13 million ballots were cast out of a total electorate of 17 million and across 38,000 polling stations throughout the country. Voters also chose 275 lawmakers for the national Parliament.
