There actually is an election of the weekend: Ghana
By 
When hastily composing my earlier post on the Romanian annulment, I made the classic blunder of forgetting about Ghana. Today, Ghana will elect a new parliament and (probably) President. The 275 seats in parliament will be elected via single member district, first past the post. The presidential election will go to a top-2 round if no contender hits 50%. Polls closed about an hour ago; we’ll get some early results tonight and final results Tuesday.
Structurally, Ghana’s political system is rather boring. Ghana joins the United States in being a fairly strict follower of Duverger’s law: the center right New Patriotic Party and the social democratic National Democratic Congress dominate Ghanaian politics and no other party appears to be electorally viable. In the last election, the NPP president Nana Akufo-Addo won by about 4% and the legislature split 137-137 with one independent. Polling has been scant, but both polls indicate the NDC candidate, former president John Mahama, has a roughly 10% lead, and might win the election outright. From what I can gather, the substantive policy differences between these parties tend to be quite modest.
The election has been dominated by the ongoing economic crisis in Ghana:
Ghana used to be a poster child for democracy in the region. At a time when coups threatened democracy in West Africa, Ghana has emerged as a beacon of democratic stability with a history of peaceful elections. It had also been an economic powerhouse, priding itself on its economic development. But in recent years, it has struggled with a profound economic crisis, including surging inflation and a lack of jobs.
Election day appears to have been mostly peaceful, although there was at least one violent incident.
