Ghana Presidential election 2024 have just ended like that of the United State of America 2024.
Ghana’s former President John Dramani Mahama has staged a political comeback just like President Donald Trump of America by winning the Ghana Presidential election after his rival incumbent Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia conceded defeat on Sunday 8th December 2024.
Surprisingly the Ghana National Electoral Commission haven't released the result while a concession speech of the Vice President surfaced.
This later renders the final pronouncement almost useless.
In the Spirit of Sportsmanship and good faith, the Ruling party’s candidate concedes defeat and congratulates opposition’s Mahama.
This is a good opportunity for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, the ruling party’s presidential candidate who has conceded defeat in Ghana’s 2024 elections and congratulated former President John Mahama.
In a concession speech delivered on Sunday December 6th 2024 - Mr Bawumia, the candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stated that internal data from his party indicates that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has secured victory in both the Presidential and Parliamentary polls.
Ghana Presidential election was conducted nationwide on Saturday 5 December 2024.
The officials of both parties have been making inflammatory comments through press briefings but the concession speech more or less dozed the tension.
Part of the concession Speech is :- 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,” Ghana Incumbent Vice President - Mr Bawumia said..
“The NDC has also won the parliamentary election. Even though we await final collation of a number of seats, I believe ultimately these will not change the outcome.”
“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,” he added and that was why I said this is a good opportunity for him.
While thanking his supporters and party members, he added that the business community needs to see Ghana as a peaceful country.
“It is important that the world investor community continues to believe in the peaceful and democratic character of Ghana
He added. “The people have voted for change at this time, and we respect that decision with all humility.”
Mr Mahama has successfully staged a comeback after two consecutive defeats. He lost the elections in 2016 and 2020.
Aside from Mr Mahama’s return, Ghana is on course to have its first female vice-president.
Jane Opoku-Agyemang, a 73-year-old former Minister of Education, is on the verge of making history.
