The Chairperson further commended all Ghanaians and national stakeholders for the largely peaceful conduct of the poll attesting to the country’s strong political maturity.
The Chairperson extends his appreciation to Sahle-Work Zewde, former President of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, who was supported by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Member of the Panel of the Wise and Former Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa, for leading the African Union Election Observation Mission to Ghana.
One of West Africa’s most prosperous and stable economies, Ghana is known for its largely peaceful transfers of power and its overall security in a region where armed groups hold sway.
With 34 million people, it is the second-most populous country in the region. The southern Akan group (46 percent) is the largest ethnic group and most Ghanaians (71 percent) are Christians. Accra is the capital city and the currency is the cedi.
