The United States congratulates President John
Dramani Mahama and the people of Ghana for the successful election on December
7.
Nearly 80% of the electorate voted, continuing the
Ghanaian tradition of widespread public participation in the democratic
process. This is the sixth successful presidential and parliamentary election
since 1992, and further demonstrates the people of Ghana’s commitment to democracy
and the rule of law.
The United States encourages all parties to accept
the results and to use the appropriate legal processes to resolve any electoral
disputes. The United States places a high value on its long-standing friendship
and partnership with Ghana and the Ghanaian people.
We look forward to strengthening our bonds by
working with President Mahama and the people of Ghana to ensure prosperity,
peace, and further democratic development of Ghana and the region.
From: Office of the Press Secretary | White House
