Ghanaians satisfied with elections

Accra, June 30 Ghanaians have given a vote of confidence to the conduct of last December's elections which returned President Jerry John Rawlings and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to power.

Preliminary results of a survey of 2,300 people nationwide by the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) show that only eight per cent of Ghanaians were dissatisfied with the elections.

The survey which ranged from political concerns through ethnic and economic issues was conducted between last February and April using the sample method.

It involved Ghanaians of 18 years and above and has a margin of error of between two and seven per cent.
