Provisional results from the elections in Ghana are trickling in slowly, and the presidential race in particular appears to be incredibly close. In the early accounting, the opposition candidate, John Evans Atta-Mills of the National Democratic Party, has a slight lead on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its candidate, Dr. Nana Akufo-Addo. Let us hope that calm and reason prevail in the days to come, especially if the race continues to be close, as most expect.
