Nigeria, March 6 -- John Mahama won nearly 57 per cent of the votes in Ghana's December 2024 presidential elections.

His National Democratic Congress (NDC) secured about two-thirds of the 276 seats in Parliament.

Mr Mahama was previously the country's president from 2012-17.

The early concession by Mahama's primary opponent, then vice-president Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party, and the peaceful transfer of power on 7 January solidified Ghana's reputation as one of Africa's most stable democracies.

Mr Mahama's strong electoral mandate presents an opportunity for governance reforms that have eluded the country since its return to constitutional democracy in 1992. It also aligns with his campaign promise to 'reset' Ghana.
