Candidates for Ghana's upcoming presidential election file their candidacy with the electoral commission in Accra. President Nana Akufo-Addo, who has led the country since 2017, is stepping down after serving the maximum two terms permitted by the constitution. Ghana faces significant economic challenges, including a $3 billion-loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund after an economic downturn in 2022 resulted in record-high 54-percent inflation.
