Ghana elections: Vote counting underway

Votes are being counted in Ghana after presidential and parliamentary elections.

Initial results suggest the incumbent Nana Akufo-Addo is ahead of his rival, the former president, John Mahama.

The ruling National Patriotic Party (NPP) is also reported to be leading in the parliamentary polls but Mr Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) disputes this.

The election was largely peacefully, but local media in the central region say a group opened fire at one polling station, injuring two people
