Ghana election: John Mahama faces Nana Akufo-Addo

An electoral officer gives ballot papers to a voter upon his arrival at Bole polling station in Ghana's northern region on December 7, 2012.
Voting is drawing to a close in parliamentary and presidential elections in Ghana, which is seen as a model for democracy in Africa.
Polls closed at 17:00 GMT, but those still waiting would be allowed to vote after enduring long queues.
Counting has begun in those areas where voting has finished.
A tight race is expected between President John Mahama and Nana Akufo-Addo in the new oil producer - one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
Mr Mahama took over as president after John Atta Mills died in July.
