Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has conceded defeat in the 2024 presidential election, extending his congratulations to John Mahama in a phone call following the polls.
At a press conference held on the morning of Sunday, December 8, 2024, Dr. Bawumia acknowledged his loss to Mr. Mahama even before the Electoral Commission (EC) made an official declaration.
Before Dr. Bawumia’s concession, Mr. Mahama held a significant lead of over 1.4 million votes, although results from some constituencies were still pending collation by the EC.
The delay in announcing the final results had sparked frustration among many NDC supporters across Ghana.
