Ghana Elections 2024, John Mahama Triumphs Over Bawumia On December 7, 2024, Ghanaians headed to the polls in a historic election that saw John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reclaim the presidency, defeating Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). This marks Mahama's return to power after a keenly contested race and his final term under Ghana’s constitution. Presidential Results Approximate According to Multi DebrichGroup.com analyst, Mahama secured approximately 58.48% (3,180,172) of the votes, defeating Dr. Bawumia, who garnered about 40.89% (2,223,277). Independent candidates and minor party representatives collectively accounted for the remaining votes. Mahama’s victory was particularly significant as he won major regions like Greater Accra, Central, Volta, and Northern, among others. Bawumia retained strongholds in the Ashanti region, and North East regions, reflecting the deep regional divides in Ghana's political landscape. A Peaceful Transition Dr. Bawumia gracefully conceded defeat before the official declaration by the Electoral Commission, emphasizing the importance of peace and democracy. He congratulated Mahama and pledged to support a smooth transition, reinforcing Ghana's reputation for political stability and democratic maturity. Parliamentary Results The NDC also made significant gains in the parliamentary elections, winning around 102 seats out of 275 as of time of writing, compared to the NPP's 40 seats. This outcome positions the NDC for a commanding majority in the next Parliament. Key battleground regions, such as Western and Bono East, tilted decisively in favor of the NDC, consolidating their legislative influence. Meanwhile, a few constituencies remain closely contested, with results pending in 29 seats.
