Ghana reelected John Dramani Mahama to be president for a four-year term on Sunday. But despite high-voter turnout and modern voting technology, the failure of the biometric identification system led to widespread accusations of rigging the election.

The softer tone is necessary as the shift in the Senate's balance of power since the last election means the remaining 45 Republican senators will face an uphill battle blocking her nomination.
