On behalf of President-elect Prof Mills
Millions of Ghanaians went to the polls on Sunday to elect the next president of mother Ghana. And by Monday morning, millions of Ghanaians already knew that Professor Evans Atta Mills was the clear winner. The win by Professor Mills again sends clear signals to the ruling NPP that Ghanaians really wanted a change. By electing Professor Mills, I am personally thanking Ghanaians for heading the call and going with this learned Professor.
It´s a new day in Ghana. It´s a new dawn. It´s a new celebration. Ghanaians have at long last been freed from the tenterhooks of the NPP. All these would not have happened had it been the good foresight of my fellow Ghanaians who saw the need to change the direction of the country by the power of their thumb prints. Many Ghanaians have heaved a sign of relief and are bracing themselves for the real economic and social change that is coming.

Nana Addo confident as NPP moves troops to Tain
Nana Akufo-Addo, NPP’s presidential candidate in the 2008 election, is confident Friday’s presidential runoff in Tain constituency, Brong Ahafo Region, will overturn fortunes in his favour.
Looking calm but exuding confidence, he told party supporters, who converged in his Nima residence to probably keep solace in him, not to look discouraged even though he is down, he is certainly not out.
According to a Peace FM’s correspondent, Nana Akufo-Addo thanked his supporters across the country for voting massively for him and asked them to keep faith in him because he is sure of winning in Tain.
New Presidential battleground
The battle to replace President J.A. Kufuor as Ghana’s next president is still deadlocked, and a third and final decider has been fixed for January 2, 2009.
The Tain Constituency of the Brong Ahafo Region, with a voter population of 53,880, is the battleground for the final determination of which of Nana Addo Adankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party and Prof. JE.A. Mills of the National Democratic Congress is president.
Ghana opposition claims poll win
Tensions are high in Ghana as official results from the knife-edge run-off presidential poll are to be released.
Opposition candidate John Atta Mills claims he has won, but the governing NPP party insisted the result remained too close to call.
Police earlier fired warning shots as large crowds converged on the election headquarters demanding the results.
Observers, who have given the poll a preliminary clean bill of health, urged both candidates to accept the results.
Monitors hope Ghana’s poll can help salvage the tarnished image of constitutional democracy in Africa, after flawed elections in Kenya and Zimbabwe and military coups in Mauritania in August and in Guinea last week.
Besieged
The electoral commission headquarters in Accra was besieged on Tuesday by hundreds of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters demanding their candidate be declared the winner.
Ahead of a news conference originally scheduled to release the official results, armed police and soldiers backed by water cannon trucks and an armoured personnel carrier kept the protesters behind barricades.
Voting ends in run-off
Nana Akufo-Addo and Prof John Atta Mills
Accra, Dec. 28, GNA – Voting ended officially in Sunday’s presidential election runoff contest between Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of New Patriotic (NPP) and Professor John Evans Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress NDC).
Polling at some 22,000 polling stations ended at 1700 hours and counting has started. The first results are expected late on Sunday night or early on Monday morning. The Electoral Commission expects the results to be declared within 48 hours.
Election 2008 Presidential Runoff, considered as historic, would lead to the second uninterrupted handover of power by an elected leader to another elected leader in the country’s 51-year political history.
It is the fifth successive multi-party elections under the Fourth Republic. Former President Jerry Rawlings, who transformed himself from a military leader into a democratically elected president in 1992 on the ticket of the NDC, served his full two terms. His term of office ended on January 6, 2001.
President John Agyekum Kufuor, who won the presidency on the ticket of the NPP, would be the second Ghanaian elected leader to hand over to another elected leader.
Seven political parties and an independent candidate contested for the single presidential slot but none of them was able to garner the more than 50 per cent of the votes needed to win the first poll held on December 7 2008, hence the runoff.
In the first round, Nana Akufo-Addo obtained 4,159,439 votes, representing 49.13 per cent of the votes while Prof. Mills garnered 4,056,634 votes, representing 47.92 per cent of the votes cast in 229 out of the 230 constituencies. The results of the Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern Region are outstanding.
