Ghana election results show John Mahama leading as Vice-President concedes defeat
Ghana's presidential election results indicate a likely victory for opposition candidate John Mahama, who has secured 61% of the votes so far. Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has accepted defeat and congratulated Mahama. Mahama's win marks a significant comeback after losing the 2020 election. He previously served as president from 2012 to 2017. This election occurs amid economic challenges, including high unemployment and rising living costs. The results from the Ashanti region, a stronghold for Bawumia's party, are still pending. Mahama's National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party have alternated power since 1992, with no party winning more than two consecutive terms.
