There seem to be strange beliefs between the two leading political parties in the country, the National Democratic Congress(NDC), and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that there is a certain correlation between the USA elections and that of Ghana.

The Democratic Party and Republican Party have ruled the United States of America since 1992 while the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party have shared the Ghanaian Presidency within the same period.

The National Democratic Congress who aligns themselves with the Democratic Party in the USA is always confident ahead of every December 7 polls when their counterpart wins the US elections which come on November 3, a month before Ghanaians go to the polls to cast their ballot.

Similarly, the New Patriotic Party also signs a "done deal" song when the Republicans win the elections in the United States.

Is there a correlation between the US and Ghana elections?
