A big oil discovery has raised the stakes for the race
People in Ghana have begun voting in the presidential run-off after the 7 December election failed to produce an outright winner.
Nana Akufo-Addo of the governing party is facing John Atta Mills of the opposition in the battle to succeed President John Kufuor.
Mr Addo defeated his rival by a slender margin in the first round but not by enough to avoid the run-off.
The stakes are high as Ghana has just found commercial quantities of oil.
The two candidates are closely matched and the campaign has been tense with electioneering incessant, the BBC's Will Ross reports from the Ghanaian capital Accra.
