Ghana’s opposition leader, John Mahama has taken an early lead in the presidential race as counting slowly gathered pace in the nation wracked by inflation and a debt crisis.
National Democratic Congress’ Mahama won 50.3% of the votes counted from 9% of the nation’s 276 constituencies, Joy TV reported. The ruling New Patriotic Party’s Mahamudu Bawumia won 48% of the votes, according to the Accra-based broadcaster. The early results aren’t necessarily indicative of the final outcome.
