The
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
has
called
on
Dr
Mahamudu
Bawumia,
the
flagbearer
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP),
to
concede
defeat
in
the
2024
Presidential
Elections.
Speaking
at
a
press
conference
today
in
Accra,
Sammy
Gyamfi,
the
National
Communications
Officer
of
the
NDC,
claimed
that
the
party’s
internal
collation
showed
its
flagbearer,
John
Dramani
Mahama,
leading
by
a
margin
of
over
1.5
million
votes.
Mr
Gyamfi
urged
Dr
Bawumia
to
expedite
the
concession
process
using
one
of
his
“many
digital
apps”
and
enable
a
smooth
and
peaceful
transition.
He
remarked,
“Example,
in
some
of
the
Bono
constituencies
we
have
won,
they
(NPP
polling
agents)
are
nowhere
to
be
found
to
sign
the
results
as
collated.
Then
EC
officials
are
saying
we
are
waiting
for
them.
We
want
to
tell
the
Electoral
Commission
that
if
the
NPP
will
not
come
and
sign,
declare
the
results…
Declare
the
results
and
spare
the
nation
the
tension
you
have
launched
us
into.”
Mr
Gyamfi
further
called
on
Dr
Bawumia
to
act
as
a
statesman
and
respect
the
election
outcome.
He
said,
“And
for
God’s
sake,
Alhaji
Bawumia,
for
God’s
sake,
you
are
an
Alhaji.
You
call
yourself
Doctor
Digital.
So
I’m
sure
that
by
now,
through
your
many
digital
applications,
you
have
collated
your
results.
You
know
you
have
lost.
“Please
call
your
Senior
Brother,
His
Excellency
John
Dramani
Mahama,
concede
defeat
and
save
this
nation
the
unnecessary
tension
that
you
and
your
goons
have
brought
us
into.
Enough
of
the
killings,
enough
of
the
violence.
Ours
is
a
democracy
governed
by
the
rule
of
law.
The
will
of
the
people
expressed
at
the
polls
is
supreme.
Be
a
Democrat
and
respect
the
will
of
the
people.”
The
NDC’s
call
for
calm
comes
amidst
heightened
political
tension
as
Ghanaians
await
the
final
declaration
of
results
by
the
Electoral
Commission
