Ghana is heading for its ninth general election since multiparty politics resumed in 1992.
In that time, there have been three peaceful transfers of power, with the two main parties - the (NDC) and the (NPP) - holding the presidency for a total of 16 years each.
Ghanaians were hit particularly hard in the pocket by the global bout of inflation, beginning in early 2022, that saw prices rise in the country at their fastest rate for more than two decades.
The annual rate of increase reached a peak of 54.1% in December 2022.
