A woman votes at a polling station in Kibi, eastern region of Ghana and stronghold of presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), December 7, 2012. Ghanaians choose on Friday who will run one of Africa's most stable democracies as a surge in oil revenues promises to boost development and economic growth. Ghana has earned a reputation as an oasis of stability and progress in West Africa, a part of the world better known for civil wars, coups, entrenched poverty and corruption.
