Overview
Ghanaians are voting in presidential and legislative elections amid severe economic challenges, including high inflation and rising unemployment. Vice President Bawumia of the ruling NPP confronts former President Mahama of the NDC in a pivotal election where voter sentiment reflects deep frustration with the status quo. Over 18 million voters are registered, and the election's outcome could redefine the nation's democratic trajectory in a region facing instability. Polls suggest a competitive race, particularly within the historically disadvantaged northern region. Results are expected soon, with concerns about potential electoral violence.
