The U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, Ms. Stephanie S. Sullivan has applauded Ghana on its successful conduction of election 2020 and congratulated President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on his re-election.
A statement from the US Embassy in Accra, copied to the Ghana News Agency, said the election was conducted in a free, fair, and peaceful manner while protecting the wellbeing of Ghanaians during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The United States, it said, expected that any electoral disputes be resolved through established legal channels, in keeping with Ghana’s hard-earned reputation as a shining example of democracy in the West African sub-region and across the world.
The statement gave an assurance that the U.S. government stood ready to continue its strong partnership with the government and people of Ghana to advance their shared prosperity.

2020 ELECTION IN GHANA IS ONE OF THE BEST AND THE MOST ADVANCED ELECTION IN THE COUNCRY. THE PROCESSESS IS TRANSPARENT THAT AN ERROR CAN BE EASILY DETECTED AND BE CORRECTED. IN VIESW OF THIS, ALL AGRIEVED PARTIES MUST ADOPT THE RIGHT PROCESS TO SEEK REDRESS. NOBODY SHOULD CONDONE AND SUPPORT ANY FORM OF IRREGULARITY. IT IS SAID A BALLOT AND VOTING OF ONE POLLING STATION IN BONO EAST WAS TEMPERED WITH. THE BALLOT PAPERS OF THAT POLLING STATION MUST BE CRITICALLY EXAMINED TO DETERMINED THE RIGHT BALLO. IT MUST AGREE WITH TOTAL VOTE CAST. IF THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE DISRUPTION, THE VOTERS OF THAT PARTICULAR POLLING STATION SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE AGAIN TO COMPLETE THE TALLY OF THE CONSTITUENCY. THERE IS ANOTHER CLAIM OF WRONG COMPUTATION OF BANDA CONSTITUENCY. ERROR OF COMPUTATION IS THE MOST EASY PROBLEM OF ELECTION THAT CAN BE FIXED. THE WRONG MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE MUST BE RESPECTED AND JUSTICE MUST BE GRANTED TO THE TRUE WINNER. NEVER SHOULD VIOLENCE OF ANY FORM BE ADOPTED TO RESOLVE ELECTION DISPUTE. ANYONE WHO ATTEMPT TO DO SO MUST BE PROPPERLY DEALT WITH BY THE SECURITY FORCES. POP
Very interesting Mr ambassador and thanks. This is how democracy works.
