Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has congratulated John Dramani Mahama on his re-election as President-elect, recognizing the weight of the victory and the crucial role it will play in the nation’s future.
In a Facebook post on December 9, Bagbin emphasized that Ghanaians had boldly and decisively chosen Mahama to lead the nation through a period of renewal.
Bagbin expressed hope for divine guidance for Mahama as he prepares to lead the country during these challenging times. “Ghanaians have courageously reset the presidency to reset the nation. Congratulations, Your Excellency, John Dramani Mahama, president-elect and Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces. May God guide you in this critical moment, as our nation faces its lowest point.”
On December 9, the Electoral Commission confirmed Mahama’s victory, with 6,328,397 votes (56.55%), defeating his closest opponent, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who secured 4,657,304 votes (41.61%).
Additionally, Mahama’s victory has resulted in a historic win for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), securing a majority in Parliament with over 160 seats, including key constituencies previously held by the NPP. This strengthens Mahama’s mandate as he prepares to assume office once again.
