Following the declaration of John Dramani Mahama as the President-elect of the 2024 presidential election by the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, HRM Dr. Amb. Eze Chukwudi Ihenetu has congratulated Mahama as the new President-elect.

Emerging as the winner of the presidential race by securing a landslide victory, H.E. John Mahama and Dr. Bawumia competed as the two main contenders for the presidential bid.

In his felicitation remarks, HRM Ihenetu commended H.E. Mahama for his calm composure in ensuring peace among his political party members as their standard bearer.

He prayed for God's guidance and protection on Mahama to enable him to execute all his agenda-driven policies for the betterment of Ghanaians.

HRM Ihenetu was optimistic that Mahama would serve Ghanaians in their utmost interest.

On the other side, he expressed gratitude to Dr. Bawumia for conceding defeat to H.E. Mahama earlier before the declaration of the results by the EC and classified the act as peaceful conduct and gentlemanly.

According to the Igbo King in Ghana, peace must reverberate irrespective of political, religious, and ethnic affiliations.

His Royal Majesty expressed heartfelt appreciation to Ghanaians for conducting a peaceful election process devoid of mayhem that would disrupt national peace.

Lauding the efforts of all agencies, rulers, and individuals who worked indefatigably to ensure peace is maintained, he admired Ghana's team spirit as a united people fighting for the maintenance of peace.

Underscoring Ghana's trajectory of peace, HRM Ihenetu indicated that Ghana has performed remarkably well since its democratic years and has also exhibited maturity in preserving its peace, which other African countries look up to.

The Igbo King in Ghana called on other countries in Africa and beyond to emulate Ghana's peaceful coexistence in conducting general elections.

HRM Ihenetu again sent his good wishes to Ghanaian youth for comporting themselves during and after the elections and called on heavenly blessings for all Ghanaian youth.
