The 2024 New Patriotic Party(NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has rendered an apology to party members for their defeat in the general election.
Speaking at an event in London, United Kingdom, the former Vice President acknowledged that the NPP made several mistakes which accounted for their significant loss.
“The NPP did a lot of work, there’s no doubt about that, but we did not get everything right. We got quite a few things wrong, and I think that, on my own behalf and on behalf of the party, I apologise to all of you for us not getting the figures right,” he said.
However, he expressed confidence that the NPP will learn from its defeat and bounce back stronger.
“I believe that, by the grace of God, if we are given another opportunity, we will get many things right, because we have learnt the lessons that will guide us forward,” he added.
The Electoral Commission(EC) on December 9, 2024, declared John Mahama winner of the keenly contested election after he polled 6,328,397, representing 56.55% while Dr. Bawumia secured 4,657,304, representing 41.61%.
The ninth Parliament also witnessed a historic shift in power as the NDC obtained an overwhelming majority with 183 seats, leaving the NPP with just 88 seats.
