The campaigning is over, the speeches have been made, the text messages have been sent and the anthems have been sung. The commentators have made their concluding remarks and note has been taken of election related violence in Nigeria earlier in the week. The police and other services queued up and voted on Tuesday. The hawkers will be counting their profits from the sale of posters, hats and T shirts. The ballot papers have been airlifted to the remotest parts of the country. The Electoral Commission has confirmed which marks will be accepted as votes and which won’t. The screens have been set up in public places to display the results as they come in. The BBC has predicted a close finish. VSO has evacuated volunteers from Tamale, seen as the area most likely to suffer violence, to other parts of Ghana. The observers have arrived from the European Union, the African Union, the Commonwealth and, no doubt, other agencies. The prayers for peaceful elections continued at special services last night. The polling stations opened at 7 this morning and will close at 5. After four peaceful elections how will Ghana handle the fifth?
