The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai is in Ghana as an observer in the ongoing presidential and parliamentary elections holding on Wednesday, December 7.
The Ghanaian elections were initially slated for November 7 but were postponed after Parliament rejected the date.
President John Mahama is seeking a second term. He didn’t have to run for his first term as he became president from Vice President after former president John Atta Mills died.
In Ghana, eligible voters must be Ghanaian citizens who are at least 18 years old, although those declared insane are disenfranchised. Parliamentary candidates must be Ghanaian citizens at least 21 years old, and either be resident in their constituency or have lived there for at least five of the ten years prior to the election.
