John Dramani Mahama emerged victorious in Ghana's 2024 presidential election, securing a remarkable return to office after a challenging race.

The Electoral Commission (EC) confirmed Mahama’s win on Monday, December 9, with the former president garnering 6,328,397 votes, which accounts for 56.55% of the valid ballots.

He triumphed over his main contender, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who received 4,657,304 votes, representing 41.61%.

This victory also translates into a major triumph for Mahama’s party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which has taken a commanding lead in Parliament.

Over 180 NDC seats have already been secured, including several traditional NPP strongholds. This widespread support solidifies Mahama's mandate as he prepares to take office once again.
