As the West African nation struggles with its worst economic scenario in decades, Ghanaians will cast their ballots for the election of their new president on Saturday.
Since incumbent Nana Akufo-Addo is nearing the end of his two-term maximum, twelve people are running for the presidency.
However, two individuals from Ghana’s two main parties—the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)—are seen as the front-runners.
According to opinion polls, voters are divided between John Mahama, 66, a former one-term president who wants to make a comeback like US President-elect Donald Trump, and current vice president Mahamudu Bawumia, 61.
