Ghana is holding presidential and parliamentary elections on Saturday, with the nation hoping for economic recovery following its worst financial crisis in decades, which culminated in a sovereign debt default.The election features twelve candidates, but the main contest is widely considered to be between the ruling New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and chosen successor to Akufo-Addo, and the opposition National Democratic Congress's (NDC) John Dramani Mahama, the former president (2012-2016).Polling stations will be open from 7:00 GMT to 17:00 GMT. Preliminary parliamentary results are anticipated by Sunday, with the presidential outcome expected by Tuesday, although early trends may offer an indication sooner.Around 18.7 million of Ghana's 34 million citizens are registered to vote in this crucial election for the world's second-largest cocoa producer and a significant gold exporter.
