Ghana’s Electoral Commission has declared incumbent president Nana Akufo-Addo as winner of the country’s presidential elections.

This was declared by Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the electoral commission.

She said Addo scored 6,730,413 votes, while former Ghana President, John Dramani Mahama secured 6,240,889 votes.

“We must be proud that the long queues and the overcrowding were all absent at the polling stations.

“It is my duty to declare Nana Addo president elect of the Republic of Ghana,” she said.
