Polls for the 2024 election are open nationwide.

As Ghana prepares to hold its eagerly awaited general election to choose a president and 276 lawmakers, voting has begun nationwide.
With 12 people running for president, many consider this election to be among the most contested in Ghana’s history.

The front-runners, former President John Dramani Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), have both conducted strong campaigns.

The makeup of Ghana’s 276-member parliament will also be decided by the election.
Long lines have formed at polling places since they opened at 7:00 AM as voters enthusiastically cast their ballots.

With security forces in place to uphold law and order during the election, election authorities are striving to ensure a seamless procedure.

To maintain the integrity of the election, voters have been urged to cast their ballots in a nonviolent manner and to abide by all electoral regulations.

Ghanaians, who have a reputation for holding legitimate and transparent elections, are hoping for a calm election as the day goes on.
