Election 2024: Ghana Erupts in Jubilation as Mahama’s Evident Win Sparks Celebrations Across Country

Celebrations erupted across Ghana as jubilant crowds filled the streets on December 9, 2024, following Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s concession call to John Mahama.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer’s apparent victory sparked an outpouring of joy in several constituencies, with supporters dancing, singing, and waving flags to mark the moment.

Although the Electoral Commission (EC) has yet to officially announce the results, the news of Mahama’s victory spread quickly after Bawumia called Mahama to concede defeat and offer his congratulations.

This act of sportsmanship was followed by Bawumia’s public address, which further fueled the celebrations.

In constituencies like Ayawaso East, Krowor, and even Bantama, traditionally a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), NDC supporters poured onto the streets to celebrate.

In Ayawaso East, the streets were filled with locals marching joyfully, accompanied by music blasting from a pickup truck.

Similarly, in Krowor, hundreds of supporters gathered, with an MC leading the crowd in songs and chants to honor Mahama’s presumed victory.

Even in Bantama, where the NPP has historically enjoyed significant support, NDC fans came out in large numbers to celebrate the apparent shift in political momentum.

Social media platforms were abuzz with reactions from Ghanaians expressing their happiness, even though the EC has yet to officially confirm the outcome.

Many netizens shared their excitement with humorous posts and video clips of the street celebrations.

One user, @EweVoodoo, joked about the shopping spree going on in the streets, adding, “You send your phone, but by the time you go, Mahama finish, the phone will tell you ‘3y3 zuzible.'”

Others, like @PrinceW26139983, admired the lively energy of the celebrations, particularly the MCs, with @not_brokenheart commenting on their infectious enthusiasm despite the language barrier.
