General elections were held in Ghana on 7 December 2020.

Electoral system

The President of Ghana is elected using the two-round system, whilst the 275 members of Parliament are elected in single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting.[2][3]

Eligible voters must be Ghanaian citizens who are at least 18 years old, although those declared insane are disenfranchised. Parliamentary candidates must be Ghanaian citizens at least 18 years old, and either be resident in their constituency or have lived there for at least five of the ten years prior to the election.[4]

Campaign

In February 2019, former president John Mahama was confirmed as the candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress.[5] In December, incumbent president Nana Akufo-Addo announced that he intended to run for re-election as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate.[6] In June 2020, the NPP chose Akufo-Addo as its presidential candidate and Mahamudu Bawumia as its vice-presidential candidate. Mahama and Akufo-Addo previously ran against each other in both 2012 (with Mahama winning) and 2016 (with Akufo-Addo winning).[7]

All contesting political parties especially the NPP and NDC campaigned vigorously across the country despite fears that political activities such as rallies could increase the rate of spread of the COVID-19 disease in Ghana[8].

Following the death of Jerry Rawlings, first president of the Fourth Republic on 12 November 2020,[9] most candidates decided to suspend their campaigns for a week out of respect to his memory.[10][11]

Filing of nomination papers for Presidential candidates

At the close of the filing of nomination papers for the presidential election on 9 October 2020, seventeen (17) persons had filed papers to stand for the elections.[12] One of those who filed their papers on 5 October 2020 was the incumbent President, Nana Akufo-Addo.[13] Each candidate was expected to pay a fee of GH¢100,000 to the Electoral Commission.[14] Akwasi Addai Odike of the United Progressive Party claimed that there was a conspiracy by the NPP and the Electoral Commission to prevent him from filing his nomination papaers. This was promptly denied by the chairman of the NPP, Peter Mac Manu.[15] However, the NDC questioned why presidential candidates were filing nomination papers when the Electoral Commission has not finalised the new voter's register to be used for this election.[16]To the surprise of many[who?], Jacob Osei Yeboah disclosed on 6 October, when he was expected to file his nomination papers, that he would instead be the running mate of Asiedu Walker.

^a - Disqualified by the Electoral Commission of Ghana

Final list of Presidential candidates

Following the vetting of their papers, the Electoral Commission announced the final list of Presidential candidates on 19 October 2020. Five people had been disqualified from standing for the election as there were various problems with their nomination documents. These include IT issues with their forms and some had been forwarded to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service. Those disqualified include Kofi Koranteng and Marricke Kofi Gane who are both Independent. Akwasi Addae Odike of the United Progressive Party, Nana Agyenim Boateng of the United Front Party and Kwasi Busumbru of the People's Action Party were also not eligible.[26][27][28] On 20 October 2020, the candidates balloted for the order in which they will appear on the ballot paper. The incumbent president, Nana Akufo-Addo will be the first on the list followed by John Mahama, a former president. The full list as on the ballot paper is below.[29][30] Following this, one of the disqualified candidates, Nana Agyenim Boateng, leader of the UFP, took to court to seek redress and prevent the elections from going ahead but the Accra High Court found no grounds to grant this relief.[31]

Violence

On December 8, a day after the elections there were reports of gunshots leading to the arrest of Nii Lante Vanderpuye the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Odododidoo constituency.[39] The Ghana Police reported of 5 dead and 19 injuries during and after the election.[40]

Parliamentary election

The Electoral Commission announced that following the creation of the Guan District in the Oti Region through the Guan District Local Government (Guan District Assembly) (Establishment) Instrument, 2020, people in this area will only be able to take part in the presidential election. This is because the Guan constituency had not yet been formally created.[41][42]

Opinion polls

Ben Ephson of the Daily Dispatch newspaper conducted polls in the Greater Accra, Central and Western regions. He predicted that Akufo-Addo of the NPP will win the election with 52.6% of the votes while Mahama will obtain 45.7%.[43][44] The Political Science Department of the University of Ghana polled 11,949 respondents and predicted that Akufo-Addo (NPP) will win 51.7% of the vote while Mahama wins 40.4%.[44][45] An iPoll survery of 670 respondents predict 48.7% of the votes for Mahama and 46.7% for Akufo-Addo implying the election may go a second round as the winner has to have over 50% of the votes.[46] The Governance Research Bureau predicted that Akufo-Addo will obtain 49.19% of the votes and Mahama 48.27% also implying a second round of elections may be needed.[45]

Preliminary results

The total number of registered voters was 17,027,655.[47] The Electoral Commission promised to declare the results of the election within 24 hours of the completion of voting.[48] Some leaders of the NDC expressed their doubts about the commission being able to do so within the 24 hours time frame.[49][50] In the late afternoon of 8 December the Electoral commission communicated that the declaration of the votes in 24 hours which was supposed to take place at 5:00pm which is exactly 24 hours of the closure of the election had been extended. The Commission in a statement explained that the extension was to ensure that collation of results at the constituency and regional collation centres across the country are accurate.[51] On December 9, incumbent Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo was declared the winner after securing a majority of the votes needed to avoid a runoff.[52]
