In a remarkable display of statesmanship, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has conceded defeat in the 2024 general election.
Speaking at a press conference this morning, Dr Bawumia congratulated former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on their decisive electoral victory while awaiting the official declaration from the Electoral Commissioner.
Dr Bawumia acknowledged the democratic choice of Ghanaians, pledging his support for a smooth transition. “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President-elect John Dramani Mahama. The will of the people has prevailed, and I am committed to ensuring a seamless handing-over process,” he stated.
He added that he remains optimistic about the future and hinted at a return to the political arena: “This is not the end of the road for NPP. We may have lost the battle but we haven’t lost the war, we will come back stronger.”
This announcement follows the NDC’s impressive showing in the polls, where they secured the majority of votes, signalling a clear mandate from the electorate.
Dr Bawumia’s concession has been lauded as a step toward maintaining the peace and democratic integrity of Ghana, a hallmark of the nation’s electoral history.
