Ghana remained calm Wednesday as results pointed to president John Agyekum Kufuor heading for a first-round victory as the picture of the election became clearer 24 hours after polls closed. His New Patriotic Party (NPP) is also in a strong lead in the 230- member parliament. According to results from 176 constituencies in the presidential election released by the Electoral Commission Kufuor has 55.6 percent of votes with former vice president John Evans Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) polling about 42.1 percent.
