What do you want to hear in the acceptance speech of @[email protected]?
JJ Rawlings, with 57.37%, beat JA Kufuor, with 39.67% in 1996.
NB: Rawlings (58.40%) beat Adu Boahen (30.29%) in 1992, BUT the 1996 margin was bigger because of the nominal difference (1.2m votes vs 1.1m in 1992).
π¨ π¬π Official: Ghana's election body declares @[email protected] winner of the #GhanaElections2024 with 56.55% of the votes.
Mahama returns after 2016 loss, beating Vice President @[email protected] in the second largest winning margin of Ghana's 4th Republic history.
For those thinking I will coddle @[email protected], worry not. My long track record of balance speaks for me.
When @[email protected] first came, I gave him PLENTY rope after taking over from Mahama's mess.
I'll do same for JM. If he doesn't deliver, my voice will be loud.
Dear @[email protected],
I do not envy you. You've only four years to undo much damage. If you waste time rewarding party people, you will fail.
You made promises; we expect bold solutions. We know it won't be easy; we just want to see genuine effort.
I wish you well.
I took a personal decision not to attack or blame @[email protected] throughout the campaign period.
Like Kamala, I believe the buck did NOT stop with him, as Vice President. I stand by it.
As Mahama showed, #ItIsPossible to come back stronger. I wish you well.
