Highlighting the significance of Bawumia’s concession, he added, “Dr. Bawumia’s decision to place the interest of Ghana above personal ambition reinforces the values of democracy and demonstrates a maturity that will undoubtedly serve as a model for political actors across the continent.”

Fayemi urged African politicians to draw lessons from Ghana’s example, stressing the importance of respecting the will of the electorate and allowing democratic institutions to function independently.

“As Africans, we must draw lessons from Ghana’s example. The supremacy of the people’s will is the cornerstone of democracy, and the desire to serve must always align with the mandate freely given by the electorate, not through coercion or manipulation,” he said.

He further commended Ghana for setting high standards, saying, “Ghana has set high standards by proving that democracy can thrive in Africa when institutions are allowed to function independently and political actors prioritise the collective good over individual aspirations.”

Fayemi called on political actors across the continent to emulate the conduct of both Mahama and Bawumia, stating that their actions have deepened Ghana’s democratic culture and solidified its position as a beacon of hope for Africa.

“As Nigeria and other African nations continue to strengthen their democratic foundations, the Ghanaian experience provides a blueprint for conducting elections that are credible, peaceful, and reflective of the people’s choice,” Fayemi added.
