Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Vice President and the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) 2024 flagbearer, has explained that his prompt concession following last year's election defeat was motivated by a desire to spare Ghana needless political strife.
He made the remarks while addressing supporters in the Oti Region as part of the party's ongoing Thank You Tour.
Speaking on Friday, May 9, Dr Bawumia recalled the tense aftermath of the December polls and the legal challenges that followed. "I chose to concede early.
It was a difficult decision, but my foremost concern was to save Ghana from unnecessary tension," he stated, underscoring the importance of national unity over personal ambition.
