Raila's sister Ruth Odinga also congratulated President Akuffo for his second term victory. Both have close family ties tracing back to the olden days when Jaramogi Odinga was the first Vice President.
Some of Jaramogi's daughters are married in Ghana and have long established ties with the Ghanaian citizens and since the country went into polls they have been closely following with their kins yonder.
'' I am so happy with the Ghanaian outcome of Presidential elections. Some of my relatives were observers there and even pre-empted the victory as vote count begun and results were tabulated.''
Over the years, Ghana has been held in high esteem in African continental politics as the beacon of democracy.
