Ghana goes to the polls Sunday in a run-off presidential election that will decide who leads the West African nation into an era of oil production, dpa reported. Neither Nana Akufo-Addo of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) nor John Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were able to score a decisive victory in the first round in early December. Akufo-Addo scooped marginally more votes than Atta Mills, but the other six candidates polled enough to prevent him from crossing the 50 per cent mark. The NDC complained about irregularities in voting in the first round, which had a turnout of around 70 per cent. However, the EU's election monitoring team hailed the poll as a credit to African democracy. The run-off is expected to be a close-fought affair, with both candidates in with a strong chance of victory.
