The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has extended his support to the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama following his victory in the 2024 general election.
In a nationally broadcast address from Accra on Sunday, December 8, 2024, Dr. Bawumia emphasized his commitment to promoting national unity and fostering peace. His concession, while awaiting the Electoral Commission’s (EC) official declaration, underscores his dedication to Ghana’s democratic principles and stability.
Dr. Bawumia commended his campaign team and supporters for their unwavering commitment throughout the electoral process, acknowledging the challenges faced along the way. He urged members of the NPP and Ghanaians as a whole to prioritize national progress over political divisions.
“As we await the final confirmation from the EC, let us all ensure peace and stability. We must come together as one people to build a better Ghana, regardless of our political affiliations,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
Provisional results from across the country indicate a commanding lead for John Dramani Mahama, positioning him for a decisive victory in both the presidential and parliamentary races. Dr. Bawumia’s gesture of support reflects his recognition of the electorate’s decision and a commitment to uphold the democratic values that underpin Ghana’s governance.
The 2024 general election has been hailed as a testament to Ghana’s vibrant democracy, characterized by strong voter turnout and competitive contests. As the nation anticipates the EC’s official announcement, Dr. Bawumia’s address serves as a call for unity and collaboration in moving Ghana forward under its incoming administration.
The Electoral Commission is expected to confirm the results soon, cementing Mahama’s return to the presidency and marking a pivotal chapter in Ghana’s political landscape.
