In Ghana, celebrations broke out in the streets as former president and opposition candidate John Dramani Mahama declared victory in this weekend’s presidential election. The ruling party’s candidate, current Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat Sunday. Ahead of the election, anger mounted against the ruling New Patriotic Party over the government’s handling of Ghana’s economic crisis. Mahama was previously president of Ghana between 2012 and 2017. His campaign largely appealed to Ghana’s young voters as he vowed to “reset” the country.
