Ghana: Elections to go to a run-off

Ghana's presidential election must be decided in a second-round vote, the electoral commission has announced. Governing party candidate Nana Akufo-Addo won 49.13% of the vote, against 47.92% for his rival, John Atta Mills, the commission said. But neither reached the 50% threshold needed for an outright win and a run-off will be held on 28 December.
