Ghana's election results show John Mahama winning with 61% as Vice-President concedes defeat
Ghana's presidential election results indicate a 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 and is set to take office again on January 7, 2025. The election took place amid economic challenges, including high unemployment and rising living costs. Mahama's party, the National Democratic Congress, aims to address these issues and transform the economy.
