I conceded early because my team was attempting to rig the elections, and I did not want to be a part of that – Bawumia

The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who is also the 2024 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has explained why he conceded defeat before the EC came out to make the official announcement.Dr. Bawumia says despite the opposition by his team not to come out to concede early, he says there was the need to disprove some wrong assertion being held by a section of the public.

According to him, some people were alleging that they wanted to rig the elections, the reason the Electoral Commissioner (EC) was delaying with the results.

He says despite his team urging him to hold his brief with his concession speech, he said “the stability of Ghana must always come first.”

The Vice President says he prioritised the peace of the country by subduing the tension that was lingering by coming out early to uphold the peace and stability of the nation.

Underscoring his dedication to the nation’s greater good, the NPP flag bearer also thanked his supporters for their unwavering dedication throughout the campaign.

He urged them to remain steadfast in their belief in the party’s ideals and to continue working towards a stronger and more united Ghana.Dr. Bawumia said even though it had never happened that a candidate would come out to concede defeat before the EC’s announcement, he told his team there was always a first time for everything.

At a visit by some party supporters to his resident Thursday, December 26, 2024, Dr. Bawumia detailed the events that preceded his concession, revealing that his commitment to safeguarding Ghana’s democratic principles and ensuring the country remained peaceful trumped what his team members were saying.So, even though the Electoral Commission had not yet pronounced [the winner], in fact, some of my people in my team were saying, you can’t go out to concede, we don’t know if all this data is right, let’s wait. But I said, look, we know this data is right from our own system.”

“You know, so if you wait, you build up more tension and violence could come because people would think we are trying to rig the election because that is the message that was coming, that we were trying to rig the election.”But nobody has ever conceded an election without the EC coming out to pronounce, and I said there is a first time for everything,” he disclosed.

The Vice President, on December 08, just some hours after the close of polls the previous day, announced his concession to the nation, saying he had called and congratulated his main contender, John Dramani Mahama, who emerged winner at the polls.This was before the Electoral Commission (EC) officially came out to declare its results.

The Commission on Monday, December 09, announced John Dramani Mahama as the winner of the election, garnering 6,328,397 votes, which accounted for 56.55% of the valid votes cast.
