Ghana Election: NDC Calls On Bawumia To Concede To Mahama After Projecting Overwhelming Victory

"You know you have lost. Please call your senior brother John Mahama, concede defeat and congratulate him."

Gyamfi said this would save Ghana unnecessary tension amid reports of violence and disturbances that have marred the election.

"By conceding defeat, we want you to put your foot down and stop the nefarious activities of these NPP thugs,” he said.

Election result trends have pointed to a comprehensive defeat for the NPP in the general election.
