Former Ghanaian President, John Dramani Mahama, has won a historic comeback election victory yesterday after voters appeared to punish the ruling New Patriotic Party over its management of an economic crisis.

NPP candidate, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat in the weekend presidential election after failing to shake off widespread frustration over high costs of living.

Defeat in Saturday’s election ended eight years in power for the NPP under President Nana Akufo-Addo; marked by the west African state’s worst economic turmoil in years, high inflation and a debt default.
