Ghana's vice-president concedes election defeat to John Mahama
Ghana's Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has conceded defeat in the recent election, congratulating former President John Mahama. Bawumia stated that provisional results indicate Mahama's decisive victory and that the opposition National Democratic Congress won the parliamentary election. No official election results have been announced yet. Bawumia's concession comes amid Ghana's severe economic crisis, which has led to a debt default. President Nana Akufo-Addo is stepping down after serving two terms.
