President-elect John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to implement stringent measures aimed at revitalizing the ailing nation.
In an address delivered after the declaration of his victory on Monday, December 9, the President-elect underscored the significance of these stringent measures over the next four years.
“We would be initiating important governance reforms, and sometimes initiate severe measures in the next four years to reset our nation and bring it back on track as the Black star of Africa.”
The Electoral Commission (EC) on Monday, confirmed Mahama’s victory with 6,328,397 votes cast representing 56.55% of the valid votes cast, defeating his primary rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 4,657,304 votes representing 41.61%.
Mahama’s victory also marked a significant achievement for his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which won a majority in the Parliament.
Over 160 seats have already been confirmed for the NDC, including key constituencies traditionally held by the ruling NPP. This success strengthens Mahama’s mandate as he prepares to assume the presidency once again.
