The candidate of Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has pulled ahead in the count from Sunday’s presidential election, informs BBC Tuesday. He holds slightly more than 49 per cent of the vote with more than half of the precincts in Ghana tabulated but a run-off may still be held.
John Atta Mills of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) trails him by slightly more than 2 per cent.
Ghana is also choosing its new parliament. The governing party had a clear majority before this election but that is no longer the case and the two rival parties are neck-and-neck.
