More than 17 million people are expected to cast their ballots in Ghana’s presidential and parliamentary elections on Monday.

Voting will take place at more than 38,000 polling stations in 16 regions of Ghana.

The head of the Ghana Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, has warned voters and the media to refrain from inciting unrest over the election results.
