Episode description

On December 7, voters in Ghana will elect a new president and members of parliament. The presidential race is a rather unique one because for the first time in the country's history, a former president and an incumbent vice president are vying for the highest office in the land. In October, the country nearly ground to a halt as organized labor (union workers) threatened to strike to protest illegal mining and its effect on the environment. Inflation in the country is above 20% and unemployment has hit a new high. In this A55 election special, we speak to voters and election watchers about the issues at the heart of this race.
