Ghana: Presidential Election on Dec. 7

Ghana’s Presidential election is imminent with the third face-off  between incumbent President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former president John Dramani Mahama, leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).  Although there are 12 other candidates, these two are the main contenders.  This is their third face-off with Mahama winning in 2012 and Akufo-Addo winning in 2016.
Results should be known by Dec. 10, and most observers favor the incumbent, but the margins are likely to be small.
