Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has acknowledged the results of the 2024 general elections, expressing his respect for the will of the Ghanaian electorate.
Initial results from the elections conducted on Saturday, December 7, reveal that Dr. Bawumia is considerably behind the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, John Dramani Mahama, indicating a likely substantial defeat for the incumbent party.
During a press conference on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia recognized the preliminary forecasts and reiterated his dedication to promoting peace and unity within the nation, especially in light of the rising tensions among citizens.
He reassured NPP supporters that the party would take valuable lessons from this experience and emerge more resilient in future electoral contests.
Dr. Bawumia called on all supporters to maintain composure and prioritize the peace and stability of the country.
The Electoral Commission is anticipated to release the final certified results shortly, but early counts indicate a notable shift in parliamentary representation, with the NDC making gains in several constituencies that were previously dominated by the NPP.
