In a significant development following the 2024 general elections, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has conceded defeat and extended his congratulations to John Dramani Mahama.
Bawumia, the Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), acknowledged the provisional election results trickling in and expressed his commitment to a peaceful transition of power.
In an address to the state on Sunday, December 8, Bawumia noted that he had called former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress John Dramani Mahama and congratulated him.
He assured the former President of his full support in ensuring that peace and development continue to prevail uninterrupted.
The concession marks the end of a highly competitive election and sets the stage for the incoming administration to begin its work.
“I have spoken to President-elect John Dramani Mahama to congratulate him on his victory. The people of Ghana have spoken, and we must respect their decision,” Dr Bawumia stated.
He thanked Ghanaians people for the opportunity to serve and reaffirmed his commitment to the country’s democratic principles.
Results trickling in so far shows Dr Bawumia trailing behind Mahama with some key NPP Members of Parliament losing their seats, but the Electoral Commission (EC) is expected to officially certify the final results in the coming hours.
