The city of Kumasi remains virtually quiet as residents anxiously await the results of the presidential run-off.
The usual MonClay hustle and bustle in the city centre was absent and vehicular traffic on many of the busy roads was nowhere to be found.
In many other parts of the city, the story was the same.
Expectations for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in the metropolis had been very high in the wake of the presidential run-off.
Indeed, their confidence was bolstered by the huge results in their favour at the polling centres in Kumasi when the votes were counted last Sunday evening.
However, as the provisional results from the constituencies trickled in with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) making some gains, the mood among the supporters began to change.
Some people were seen in groups discussing when the Electoral Commission would announce the final results.
They expressed the hope that the EC would be fair to all to ensure that a credible winner emerged.
Interestingly, while the NDC seemed to be gaining grounds in the elections, their supporters were difficult to be found.
Perhaps, they were also being cautious, preferring to wait for the EC to finally declare the results.
