Today, on December 7, 2024, a record-breaking 18,774,159 registered voters are expected to participate in the democratic process by casting their ballots at approximately 40,647 polling stations across the nation.
This marks a significant 10.25% increase from the 17,027,641 registered voters in the previous 2020 election, showcasing a growing interest and engagement in the electoral process.
The presidential race is particularly intense this year, with a total of 12 candidates vying for the opportunity to lead the country from the prestigious Jubilee House for the next four years.
Despite the diverse field of candidates, it is widely acknowledged that the real competition lies between Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This highly anticipated election marks the ninth general election under the Fourth Republic, highlighting the continued commitment to democracy and civic participation in the country.
With over 18 million registered voters set to determine the nation’s next president and the composition of the 275-member Parliament, the stakes are high for both candidates.
Both Vice President Bawumia and former President Mahama have conducted vigorous campaigns, with recent polls indicating a neck-and-neck race, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding this pivotal election.
