John Mahama Wins Ghana Presidential Election in Historic Comeback
Former President Mahama secures decisive victory over Vice President Bawumia, ending the ruling party's eight-year tenure.
- John Dramani Mahama, Ghana’s former president, has been elected president again after Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia conceded defeat on Sunday.
- Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) also claimed a parliamentary majority, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
- The election was dominated by economic concerns, including high inflation, youth unemployment, and Ghana’s recent $3 billion IMF bailout following a debt default.
- Mahama’s campaign focused on promises to ‘reset’ the country, including renegotiating IMF terms, addressing corruption, and introducing a 24-hour economy.
- The election was largely peaceful, though isolated incidents of violence were reported, and it was seen as a key test of Ghana’s democratic stability in a region facing political upheaval.
