Voting closed on Saturday evening in most polling centres throughout Ghana, bringing to an end the presidential and legislative elections poised to be a litmus test for democracy in a region shaken by extremist violence and coups. The capital, Accra, was almost a ghost town for much of the day. Even vibrant Oxford Street, one of the city’s commercial hubs, saw little activity on the day that Ghanaians went to the polls to elect a new president and 276 legislators. About 18.7 million people are registered to vote in the West African country hit by one of the worst economic crises in a generation. However, the two main candidates offer little hope for change for the nation. Early results were expected late on Saturday. The first official results will be released by Tuesday. A woman casts her ballot at a polling station in Jamestown, Accra (Misper Apawu/AP) It had also been an economic powerhouse, priding itself on its economic development. But in recent years, it has struggled with a profound economic crisis, including surging inflation and a lack of jobs. According to an opinion poll released earlier this year by Afrobarometer, a research group, 82% of Ghanaians feel their country is headed in the wrong direction. Although 12 candidates are running to become Ghana’s next president, Saturday’s election – like previous ones since the return of multiparty politics in 1992 – has emerged as a two-horse race. Vice president Mahamudu Bawumia is the candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, or NPP, which has struggled to resolve the economic crisis. He faces off against former president John Dramani Mahama, the leader of the main opposition party National Democratic Congress, or NDC. He was voted out in 2016 after failing to deliver on promises for the economy. Opinion polls point at a potential comeback for Mr Mahama. A local research company, Global InfoAnalytics says he is projected to get 52.2% of the vote, followed by Mr Bawumia, with 41.4%.

Has Trump’s legal storm blown away?
Four years ago, a well-known UK share was selling for pennies. Since then though, it has risen in price by . I was not expecting such a performance. Here I explain why not – and whether I have changed my mind on adding the company to my . Tasty but reaching its best-before date? The share in question is ( ). For most Britons, the investment case here almost writes itself. M&S is a well-known brand, it has a large presence across the country (helped in recent years by its partnership with ) and historically had a large, loyal customer base. The problem I saw is that I think it has frittered away a lot of that advantage. I used to buy Marks’ quality British-made clothes but stopped shopping there once it shifted garment production overseas. As for the food business, I saw more of a sustainable advantage there as I think the quality is good. But grocery retailing in the UK is a brutally competitive market, with profit margins that reflect this. Impressive share price performance So what did I miss when considering the shares a few years back? One was that the company would be able to improve its profitability markedly. This month, the retailer’s interim results showed of £392m. That compares to an £88m loss in the same period four years ago. The long-term profit trend is positive, in my view. Back then, net debt was £3.9bn. It is now £2.1bn, still substantial but much smaller than four years ago. This month’s results were not all bright news though. Four years ago, free cash flow for the first half was £78m. This time around, free cash flow from operations was a slender £16m. In recent years, free cash flow has moved around a lot. Still, overall, the company’s financial performance has improved significantly. So despite the higher valuation for the well-known UK share, its is now 16. That is not cheap, but I do not think it is expensive for a strong operator with decent prospects. Not adding this one to my basket Still, as I do not think it is cheap, I have no plans to add Marks and Spencer shares to my shopping list. Not only that, but I see some risks with the shares. I may have been wrong four years ago, but I continue to harbour doubts about the long-term strategy for the company. Its share of the joint venture with Ocado continues to rack up losses. But my bigger concern is about how Marks can compete effectively over the long term in both food and clothing. Its traditional customer base is ageing and I think closing stores has hurt not helped its ability to find new ones. It can seek to do that online, but selling clothes online is every bit as competitive as flogging food on the high street. M&S has proved me wrong in recent years and maybe it can continue to play to its strengths. But, for now at least, I am not sufficiently excited to add the UK share to my portfolio.
