Results so far...

The results in Ghana’s Presidential run-off are trickling in. Most radio stations have been announcing results not yet certified by the Electoral Commission. With assistance of their men and women at polling centres and or course armed with simple mobile phones, the radio stations are giving listeners a picture of the trend of affairs. Projections show that the race is really keen, hot and difficult to predict though 180 uncertified results were announced by the stations. ‘Too close to call’ that is how a commentator describes the trend of the results. It is 50 to 49 percent in favour of NDC’s Prof Mills. ‘It is too early for anyone to start jubilating’ a commentator cautions. But let's celebrate mainly mobile phones. Imagine how holding of elections would be like in a developing country without them.
