Former President Rawlings has described this year�s general elections as the best ever to be held in Ghana�s electoral history and in Africa. He also commended Ghanaians who withstood the challenges that confronted the process forcing the EC to postpone the elections to a second day. Mr. Rawlings made these comments when the AU President Yayi Bonni paid a courtesy call on him following the declaration of election results on Sunday by the Chairman of the Electoral Commission. �I am just saying Mr. President [Yayi Boni] that this is the most serene electoral process I have ever witnessed in this country� the founder of the ruling NDC said. He added that �it compares to none on this continent and possibly around the world. What took place here is as good as anything you would find in any part of the world and I am saying that the beauty of it is that it happened not because of any coercive thing�. President Yayi Boni is expected to visit Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, flagbearer of the NPP to hold talks with him on allegations of vote fraud made by his party.
