President Nana Akufo-Addo has cast his ballot in his hometown of Kyebi, in the East Akim constituency of the Eastern Region, just hours after voting began across the country.
He participated in the exercise with his wife, Rebecca Akufo-Addo. According to the President, “I have voted, the process was excellent, very smooth, very simple.”
He described this year’s election as “very efficient,” adding, “Above all, the reports coming in from across the country suggest this election is going very well and it is being conducted peacefully.”
The President praised the general populace for demonstrating democratic actions. “Ghanaians are showing their commitment to democratic outcomes, and we all have to be thankful to God for that,” he told the press after casting his ballot.
He urged everyone to go out and vote, as every vote counts in decision-making, saying, “Those of you who are yet to vote, please go out and vote. Each vote counts, your voice matters.”
Mr Akufo-Addo expressed hope for a successful outcome of the election, where the majority of Ghanaians would accept the result. “We want to have a situation where, at the end of the day, the majority of Ghanaians are satisfied with the outcome.”
His Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, had earlier voted in his hometown in the Northern Region. Former President John Mahama also cast his ballot after observing traditional prayers at the grave of his late father.
