“We are still building our democracy so everything cannot be entirely successful. In my view and considering how the voting process turned out, it went on well. I was assigned to some constituencies during the elections and the whole process was smooth."

"I can say that we deserve a 75% mark for doing a good job. Although we are not there yet, things will get better,”

With the total number of registered voters was 17,027,655 the Electoral Commission promised to declare the results of the election within 24 hours of the completion of voting.

Some leaders of the NDC expressed their doubts about the commission being able to do so within the 24 hours time frame.

In the late afternoon of 8 December, the Electoral commission communicated that the declaration of the votes in 24 hours which was supposed to take place at 5:00 pm which is exactly 24 hours of the closure of the election had been extended.

The Commission in a statement explained that the extension was to ensure that collation of results at the constituency and regional collation centers across the country are accurate.

On 9 December, incumbent Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo was declared the winner after securing a majority of the votes needed to avoid a runoff.
