President-elect John Dramani Mahama has expressed astonishment over the magnitude of his victory in the 2024 presidential election, attributing it to divine intervention.
Mahama secured 56.55 percent of the total valid votes cast, surpassing his main opponent, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who garnered 41.61 percent of the votes.
This victory, which came as a surprise to many, also represents a significant achievement for his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which secured a majority in Parliament with over 170 confirmed seats, including key constituencies traditionally held by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This success further solidifies Mahama’s mandate as he prepares to assume the presidency once again.
During a courtesy visit from the leadership of the Assemblies of God Church, led by Reverend Stephen Wengam, Mahama urged the church to continue its support, especially as he seeks to address the country’s economic challenges in his upcoming term as president.
