The United Nations (UN) has commended Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for conceding defeat in Ghana's elections, describing the move as a significant example for African leaders to prioritise peace over actions that create tension.
The UN Secretary-General's Special Representative, Mr Leonardo Santos Simão, underscored Dr Bawumia's gesture as a demonstration of political courage, maturity, and respect for the democratic process.
In an interview with journalists during a visit to the National Collation Centre yesterday, he said "Democracy is coming up stronger in Ghana.
The vice president's acknowledgment of the people's choice sets a good example for some African leaders who often resist conceding defeat," he added.
