Voting in Ghana’s 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections officially ended today, December 7, 2024, as the nation transitions to the critical phase of sorting and counting ballots.
Polling stations across the country closed at 5:00 PM, after a day marked by high voter turnout and reports of orderly conduct at most centers. Electoral Commission (EC) officials are now focused on sorting and counting the ballots to determine the outcome of the much-anticipated elections.
Ghanaians voted to elect 276 Members of Parliament and a President for the next four years. The elections are seen as a close contest between the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia and former President John Dramani Mahama, respectively.
Reports from various polling centers indicate that counting is proceeding under the watchful eyes of party agents, observers, and security personnel to ensure transparency and integrity. The EC has assured Ghanaians of a credible and fair election process, urging calm and patience as results are collated.
Provisional results are expected to trickle in over the next few hours, and the EC will declare the final outcome in the coming days. Stakeholders, including political parties, civil society organizations, and international observer missions, have appealed for peace and restraint as the nation awaits the verdict.
