Ghana's Incumbent President Mahama Wins Election by Popowaa: 11:39pm On Dec 09, 2012


Ghana incumbent President John Dramani Mahama was elected to a new term with 50.7 percent of votes cast, according to results posted on the Electoral Commission's Facebook page on Sunday.

It was not immediately possible to verify the results with an Electoral Commission official.

Mahama, who became president in July after the death of ex-leader John Atta Mills, was facing top rival Nana Akufo-Addo - who took 47.4 percent of the vote, according to the Electoral Commission's Facebook page. www.facebook.com/ECGOVGH

Ghana must go, Ghana must go! Well they left to build their country and soon you would be needing VISa to enter Ghana. Their democracy is working, their light is working, their education is working. Anyway I doubt if the Igbos would do better if all Nigerians begin to shout Biafra must go! Biafra must go!! Cos in this Lagos, landlords & Fashola are already saying it silently and in the North Boko Haram believes that action speaks faster than words

Hmm.. Power of incumbency. Ghana's story and the newly elected President looks more like that of Nigeria. I just hope Ghanians were not swayed by stories like i-had-no-shoes, Godsent, luck or ethnic divides.

We condemn opportunistic leadership in the strongest possible term and sincerely hope the President actually won that election, so that Ghana won't end up in the same mess big brother Nigeria currently finds herself.

I would have really preferred to see Nana Akufor Addo as the winner. Oh well, i have no say in the issue on ground. I'm a Nigerian. Btw, how does the reinstatement of Ghanaian incumbent President (gej part2) affect the proper utilization of subsidy fund

I doubt that very much, anyway if they are up to 25m, it means a lot of people didnt vote. Lagos is about the size of Ghana, its a little country its prolly why less than 3000 Megawatts can power the entire country.
Re: Ghana's Incumbent President Mahama Wins Election by jbrodaly(m): 12:15am On Dec 10, 2012
I asked a Ghana friend about the election and this was what he said:"If the current(acting)president wins the election ,then hope is lost for a better Africa.People are voting for a particular party because of monetary enticements and turning away from a party that has clear cut plans for the country."I asked him to give me one of such plans.He actually gave me two when i asked him.Hear him again-"They are making national health insurance available to everyone in the country as long as they register for it.Free education until secondary school level."
Please are there Ghanians in the house?Please confirm this.
Thanks

Can someone summarize the views/general philosophy of the two leading candidates (Mahama and Akufo-Addo) and/or their parties? I don't know anything about Ghanaian politics.
