The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has called on New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to concede defeat in the just ended 2024 elections.
In a presser held this morning at the party's office in Adabraka, he urged the Vice President to phone Mahama to congratulate him on his victory
According to Sammy Gyamfi, doing so will bring the tensions down in the country.
He said based on the provisional results collated by the NDC, John Mahama has taken a commanding leader.
He added that they have so far won 185 parliamentary seats.
Relatedly, the Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has sent a congratulatory message to the Mahama.
He says the former president who is leading the polls has won his respect because he did not give up but has fought hard to secure this momentous victory.
In a post shared on social media, he wrote, "Welcome. You have my respect as a fighter who didn’t stay down when you fell! and will have my support as my President. May you succeed for all our sakes. I won’t lie I have seen greater promise evaporate into disappointment so I’m not too giddy about your chances but as I requested for Dr Bawumia, I will give you a fair hearing and honest feedback.”
Kofi Bentil further pledged his support for the former president’s administration as long as he does good for the people of Ghana. He however was quick to add that just as he has done in previous administrations, he will not hesitate to speak up and call him to order when the need arises.
