Ghana’s President John Mahama has said that he will respect the outcome of Wednesday’s tightly contested election.
He also said in a tweet that the Electoral Commission should be allowed to carry out its mandate.
Local media are reporting that opposition candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 72, has an unassailable lead but official results have not been released.
Final results must be declared by 17:00 GMT today.
The electoral commission announced on Thursday that it was manually verifying the results because its electronic system had been targeted by hackers.
