The election, held on Saturday, saw Ghanaians vote for a new president and 276 members of parliament. The Electoral Commission is yet to release the official final results.
Former President
John Dramani Mahama has won the 2024 Ghanaian presidential election, according to a concession speech delivered early Sunday morning by his opponent, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a televised address, Bawumia, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, acknowledged Mahama's victory and that of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
"Let me say that the data from our own internal collation of the election results indicate that former President John Dramani Mahama has won the Presidential election decisively," he said. "The NDC has also won the parliamentary election. Even though we await the final collation of a number of seats, I believe ultimately these will not change the outcome."
Bawumia personally called Mahama to offer his congratulations, highlighting his commitment to a peaceful and democratic transfer of power. Mahama, for his part, described his win as an "emphatic victory" and confirmed receiving Bawumia's call.
"I am making this concession speech before the official announcement by the Electoral Commission to avoid further tension and preserve the peace of our country," Bawumia said.
He added, "It is important that the world investor community continues to believe in the peaceful and democratic
character of Ghana […] The people have voted for change at this time, and we respect that decision with all humility."
