Former President John Dramani Mahama, now set to return as Ghana’s leader, has publicly acknowledged a congratulatory call from his rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, following his victory in the 2024 presidential election.
In a tweet posted on Sunday morning, Mr. Mahama wrote:
“I have, this morning, received a congratulatory call from my brother Dr. @MBawumia, following my emphatic victory in Saturday’s election.
Thank you, Ghana.”
This acknowledgment follows Dr. Bawumia’s concession speech, where he accepted the provisional results of the election ahead of the official declaration by the Electoral Commission.
Dr. Bawumia’s gesture has been praised widely as a demonstration of maturity and commitment to Ghana’s democratic principles.
John Mahama’s return to power marks a new chapter in Ghana’s political history. His victory comes with high expectations from the electorate, who hope for stronger governance and solutions to pressing national challenges.
As Ghanaians await the Electoral Commission’s final declaration, this moment highlights the importance of unity and mutual respect in preserving the nation’s democratic legacy.
