WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

Procedural and security reading

Attention focuses on the conduct of the election and what followed: interrupted vote counting, violence against electoral officers, arrests for alleged insurrection. The victory is established, its regularity is discussed.

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Institutional framing in GBC Ghana Online: the public broadcaster adheres to electoral tallies, withholding post-election accusations

Event-driven framing in MyJoyOnline: the private outlet prioritizes the dramatic raid narrative and Mundubile's direct quotes

Limited connection between the two sequences: neither article explicitly links the electoral victory to the subsequent wave of arrests
