Ghana has a "new old" president

This year's General elections in Ghana were a success for democracy: the West African country managed to hold fair, free and peaceful elections on Saturday. Even though the last constituencies are still counting votes, the winner is already clear: John Mahama (NDC) was elected the “new old” president of Ghana by a clear margin. The current ruling party, the NPP, on the other hand, received one of its worst election results to date with just 41.61% of the vote.
