Although one region’s final vote has yet to be accounted for, the EC says at this point it would not change the outcome.

According to the Electoral Commission, there were 17,027,641 registered voters with few election-related mishaps such as missing names, or misplaced polling stations.

Five people were killed and dozens injured in violence related to the elections say Ghana’s Police.

But compared to previous elections, and in neighbouring countries, Ghana’s presidential polls are considered to be one of the most peaceful.
