Ghanaians will head to the polls on Saturday, December 7, 2024, to decide their next president in what promises to be one of the most fiercely contested elections in the Fourth Republic.
With 12 candidates vying for the highest office, the election is widely expected to be a two-horse race between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the two dominant political forces in Ghana since 1992.
Both parties have alternated governance over the past 32 years, each completing four terms in power.
The stakes are particularly high in this election, given the economic challenges facing the nation, coupled with growing concerns about security and the potential for post-election tensions.
