Stance-Detection-Ghana-2020-Elections

Ghana is considered by many as a leading and exemplary country in terms of Democracy in Africa. Over the last 30 years, Ghana’s Presidential elections have been one of the most transparent, free and fair elections in Africa with little or no violence pre and post elections leading to five different presidents under peaceful terms. Thus, we consider this work relevant to understand how social media (in this case Twitter) can reflect public stance towards the Presidential candidates during election times.
