It’s a runoff. Nana Akufo-Addo: 49%; John Atta Mills: 47%. Since no presidential candidate garnered the 50%+1 required to win in the first round, Ghanaians will vote again December 28. Mills’ party (NDC) won a narrow plurality of parliamentary seats, but the election of a handful of independent (NPP defectors) and third party candidates means that the new president regardless of his party will have to build coalitions to get bills passed. There were a few isolated incidents, but the international monitors declared it a free and fair election.
