Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party candidate, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, said on Sunday he conceded defeat in the weekend presidential election, after calling his opponent John Mahama to congratulate him.
“The people of Ghana have spoken, the people have voted for change at this time and we respect it with all humility,” he said in a press conference.
John Mahama took to his X account to announce he had received Bawumia’s congratulatory call.
The Electoral Commission (EC) is yet to yet declare official figures for the Presidential and Parliamentary elections but supporters of the National Democratic Congress have taken to the streets to celebrate the party’s victory across the country.
The National Democratic Congress is confident of a strong mandate in both presidential and parliamentary races as Ghanaians now await the Electoral Commission’s official confirmation of the results.
