Today, the West African country, Ghana will go to the polls to elect its leaders, who will steer its affairs for the next four years.
According to the Electoral commission, a total of 18,774,159 voters have been confirmed as eligible to participate in the upcoming election.
This figure includes three key categories of voters: Biometrically Registered Voters: 18,640,811 voters with biometric data, who will undergo biometric verification on election day.
Special Voters: 131,478 individuals, including personnel from security agencies, media, and EC officials, who will vote early due to their duties on election day.
Voters without Biometric Data: 1,870 voters whose biometric data was corrupted, requiring manual verification on election day.
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is pushing for a digital transformation for the country whereas their main opponents, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are looking at introducing a 24-Hour Economy which they are hoping will help create jobs for the young people in the country.
Young Ghanaians who are into betting believe the NDC can remove the betting tax while they do not trust the NPP candidate to do the same even though he has promised to do away with the nuisance tax.
