Voting continues in Ghana’s general election, with some areas experiencing peaceful proceedings, while others have seen violence.
In the northern town of Nyankpala, a fatal shooting occurred, resulting in the arrest of four men and the deployment of soldiers to restore calm.
Despite this incident, many Ghanaians have turned out to vote, with some queuing before dawn to cast their ballots.
The economy remains a top priority for voters, with Ghana facing a debt crisis and high living costs. This has led to a highly contested election, with various candidates vying for the presidency.
Former President John Mahama is seeking a comeback with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, while Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia is the main challenger from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Other notable candidates include Nana Kwame Bediako and Alan Kyerematen.
Close to 19 million Ghanaians are registered to vote, ensuring a high turnout in this critical election.
