I congratulate the Electoral Commission for the professionalism it has shown in holding free, fair, transparent and credible elections, despite the isolated challenge it faces.
The people of Ghana have again shown the world their deep commitment to the principles of democratic accountability and the rule of law. Ghana's democracy is strong and can only grow.
