The Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), Leonardo Santos Simão, has congratulated Ghanaians for undergoing a peaceful, orderly, and successful general elections which took place on Saturday December 7, 2024.
According to him, a model of political maturity and pragmatism is cited in the sense of responsibility demonstrated by all stakeholders, and the commitment of all candidates, and leaders of political parties in ensuring that peace and security prevail during the entire electoral process, is a significant step towards consolidating the country’s democratic achievements.
Mr. Simão lauded Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for his exemplary and gracious concession.
Furthermore, he called on Ghanaians to unite behind the President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, as Ghana continues to serve as an inspiration for the rising tide of democracy throughout the African continent.
“The United Nations in coordination with regional partners will continue to support the people of Ghana towards consolidating democracy and prosperity,” he stated.
