Provisional Results of 2024 General Elections

Provisional results from Ghana's 2024 elections indicate a close contest between the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), with significant voter turnout across the country's polling stations. Early counts show the NDC leading in several key constituencies, while minor parties trail far behind. Despite a generally peaceful election atmosphere, there were reports of violence, including a shooting incident in the Northern Region that resulted in one death and injuries. In a separate context, Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmud expressed optimism about a politically elected government in Bangladesh by 2025 while highlighting the country’s pressing socio-economic challenges, including income inequality and educational access. Additionally, Bucknell University announced the results of their Student Government Executive Board election, with new leaders ready to enhance student engagement and improve campus life starting January 2025.
