| Ghana's president, John Mahama, who took office in July 2012, after the death of President John Atta Mills, is re-elected. |
Ghana's coat of arms.
Yesterday the Ghana Electoral Commission issued its final report into claims of voting inconsistencies by the losing NPP as groundless, declaring the results as follows:-
The Presidential election was won by the NDC incumbent, John Mahama, with 50.70% of the votes, against 47.74% for the main NPP rival Nana Akufo-Addo.
The clear victory for the NDC comes in spite of a number of "skirt and blouse" results (where one of the two main parties wins the presidential vote while the other, the parliamentary vote) in individual constituencies.
In the Parliamentary elections, the NDC increased its majority and now has 127 seats, against the NPPs 109, with 2 Independents and one PNC. The number of women MPs increased to 29 out of 275 MPs.
