ACCRA – At least five people have been killed in Ghana and a dozen injured in violence related to the presidential and legislative elections held on Monday, said police.
The election has tested the West African nation’s credentials as one of the continent’s most politically stable countries. Twenty-one violent outbreaks have been identified as election-related across the West African country, Ghana’s Police Service said Wednesday.
It urged calm as the nation awaits results. However, hundreds of opposition supporters demonstrated Wednesday at the Electoral Commission buildings in the capital, Accra, demanding that the election results be announced quickly.
