Former President John Dramani Mahama has emerged victorious in Ghana’s 2024 presidential election, securing 56.55% of the vote, according to the Electoral Commission.

This victory marks Mahama’s return to power, having previously served as president from 2012 to 2017 before losing to Nana Akufo-Addo.

Mahama’s win comes amid a backdrop of economic challenges in the country, including high inflation and rising living costs, which have been central issues in the campaign.

His party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), celebrated the outcome as a mandate for change and a rejection of the incumbent administration’s policies.
