A video circulating online captures newly sworn-in President John Dramani Mahama engaging in friendly pleasantries with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In the video, Mahama can be seen having a warm and cordial conversation with Bawumia. Although the details of their discussion are unclear, the video highlights the level of maturity between the two men, despite their recent political rivalry.
Mahama is set to serve a second term in office after defeating Bawumia with a significant margin in the elections.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) defeated his closest rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), by a margin of 1,671,093 votes. Dr. Bawumia garnered 4,657,304 votes, which translates to 41.61% of the valid votes.
The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, officially declared Mr. Mahama as the President-elect in a televised address on Monday, December 9. The announcement followed the collation of results from 267 out of 276 constituencies, with nine constituencies outstanding due to delays.
Independent candidate Nana Kwame Bediako of the New Force Party placed third, securing 84,478 votes (0.5%), while Alan Kyerematen, running independently under the Movement for Change, came fourth with 31,202 votes (0.28%).
