On Saturday, December 7, 2024, Ghanaians went to the polls to elect a president and 276 members of parliament.
Touted as a high-stakes election, the occasion was preceded by numerous calls for a peaceful, fair and transparent process to solidify Ghana's position as a beacon of democracy.
Despite a few skirmishes and isolated acts of lawlessness that must be addressed with the full force of the law, the process unfolded largely as the world and all Ghanaians had hoped: a testament to Ghana's stability and democratic maturity.
With the elections over, we must now face reality.
