| 2012-12-10 |
| [BBC.CO.UK] Ghana's presidential election has been won by incumbent President John Mahama, the electoral commission has announced. The announcement came hours after the opposition accused the governing party of conspiring with commission staff to fix Friday's poll. Police in the capital Accra fired tear gas to disperse opposition protesters from outside the commission's offices. The electoral commission said that Mr Mahama had won 50.7% against his NPP rival Nana Akufo-Addo on 47.74%. "Ladies and gentlemen, based on the results given, I declare John Dramani Mahama president-elect," electoral commission chief Kwadwo Afari-Gyan told journalists. |
