Akufo-Addo Lauds Mahama For Conceding Defeat

Ghana’s president elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commended President John Dramani Mahama for conceding defeat in Wednesday’s presidential poll few minutes before the official declaration by the Electoral Commission.

The Electoral Commission was expected to declare the official results of the presidential poll, which ended Wednesday at 5:00pm on Saturday.

But in what has been described as an unexpected turn of events, the Commission declared the results some few minutes after the President’s concession of defeat in the election which Nana Akufo-Addo polled 5,716,026 representing 53.85% of the total votes cast.
