I commend Bawumia for his statesmanship in conceding defeat – Mahama

President elect, John Mahama has acknowledged Vice President and NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for conceding defeat earlier before the official declaration of results of the 2024 elections.

John Mahama in his acceptance speech late night on Monday, December 9 after the EC has officially declared the results said Dr. Bawumia’s actions eased the tensions that hitherto would have arisen if he had not conceded defeat.
