The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has revealed that his campaign team opposed his decision to concede defeat in the 7 December election.
Despite their reservations, Dr Bawumia chose to acknowledge the outcome early to uphold the peace and stability of the nation.
Dr Bawumia announced his concession on December 8, mere hours after the counting of votes had commenced.
His decision came before the Electoral Commission officially declared the results.
