The results of the presidential election, which covers all 275 seats and has been characterized as one of the most hotly contested votes in the country's history, have been formally announced by the Electoral Commission (EC). An election season full of fierce campaigns, high hopes, and difficult moments was clarified by the declaration, which millions of Ghanaians eagerly awaited.

The Chairperson of the Commission thanked all parties involved for their cooperation during the election process during a press conference at the EC's headquarters. She underlined the EC's dedication to guaranteeing precision and openness in the results compilation process. "We owed it to the Ghanaian people to do this well, even if it was not an easy undertaking. The electorate's will is truly reflected in the outcomes you witness today," she said.

According to the final results, the two major political parties were engaged in a close contest, with the victor achieving a narrow but significant victory. The result, according to analysts, is evidence of the nation's thriving democracy, where each and every vote is important. In several areas, smaller political parties also saw notable gains, indicating a slow change in the political landscape.
