The Electoral Commission is yet to release the official final results.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Former President John Dramani Mahama has won the 2024 Ghanaian presidential election, according to a concession speech delivered early Sunday morning by his opponent, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/p>\n<p>In a televised address, Bawumia, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, acknowledged Mahama&#8217;s victory and that of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; he said. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bawumia personally called Mahama to offer his congratulations, highlighting his commitment to a peaceful and democratic transfer of power. Mahama, for his part, described his win as an &#8220;emphatic victory&#8221; and confirmed receiving Bawumia&#8217;s call.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Bawumia said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;It is important that the world investor community continues to believe in the peaceful and democratic character of Ghana [&#8230;] The people have voted for change at this time, and we respect that decision with all humility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ghana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
