A touching moment from the gathering was captured in video footage shared by Joy News, where Bawumia was visibly taken aback by the heartfelt show of support as he stepped out of his car.

Bawumia's triumph in the NPP presidential primaries was resounding, as he secured a significant 61.43% of the total votes. His campaign had projected over 70% of total votes, however.

His closest rival, Kennedy Agyapong, received 37.41% of the vote share, with the other two contestants, Dr Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh, securing 0.75% and 0.41%, respectively.

At the Jubilee House on Monday, the presidential staffers predominantly wore white attire, symbolising victory, and were united in their celebration of Dr Bawumia's significant achievement.

He said:

"I want to thank all of you for the hard work and support that you have given me in this journey to become the flagbearer and presidential candidate of the great New Patriotic Party."

He went on to acknowledge the relentless dedication and hard work of his team.

The video on Twitter, now X, has drawn many sharp criticisms but a few positive reactions, too.

"Beautiful! Bawumia ooo Bawumia! 2024 go jom!" someone commented.

Another person also remarked:

"Ghana's next president."

But some of the remarks were harsh:

"2025, they will have a taste of the economy they’ve created. They should enjoy it while it lasts."

Another person said:

"Never seen a joke more than what NPP has done days now."
