Accra, Dec. 08, GNA – The streets of Accra, Ghana’s capital, on Sunday witnessed a dramatic celebration by supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), following the main opposition Party’s triumph in the 2024 General Election.
It was a wild jubilation of unimaginable magnitude as the supporters trooped to the Party’s headquarters at Adabraka and principal streets in their numbers to revel in the Party’s victory.
This followed the concession of defeat by the ruling New Patriotic Party’s Flagbearer and Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, barely 24 hours after the ninth elections under the Fourth Republic.
The NPP Flagbearer indicated that his decision to officially concede defeat was borne out of his commitment to the peace of the nation, while avoiding unnecessary tension.
Clad in the winning Party’s green, black, red and white colours, the NDC sympathisers could not help but engage in all manner of celebrations to welcome the overwhelming victory.
The NDC said according to its internal collation from the provisional results of the presidential and parliamentary polls, it had won the elections and urged the Electoral Commission to declare the results.
“From our collation, it is clear that Ghanaians have rejected the NPP,” Mr Sammy Gyamfi, the Communications Director, emphasised.
Per its projection, the opposition NDC said it had won by 56.33 per cent of the total ballots cast in the presidential race, as against 41.35 per cent garnered by the NPP.
In the parliamentary elections, the Party claims it had won 185 seats so far from the 276 constituencies.
He applauded the electorate for voting massively for the Party.
