Nigerian music superstar Davido has congratulated Ghana’s former President, John Dramani Mahama, following his apparent victory in the December 7, 2024, elections. In a celebratory tweet shared with his millions of followers, Davido expressed his joy with a simple yet jubilant message: “🇬🇭🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🎉🎉🎉 @JDMahama … Cc @SharafMahama18.” The tweet quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions from both fans and political supporters.
The tweet came shortly after Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, representing the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), conceded defeat, acknowledging Mahama's growing lead in the early election results. The official results from Ghana's Electoral Commission are still awaited, but initial tallies suggest a clear advantage for Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who is projected to win approximately 52.7% of the vote. Bawumia, who had hoped to succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo, is trailing significantly behind Mahama in the preliminary counts.
The December 7 elections were highly anticipated, as they determined not only the next president but also the composition of Ghana’s legislature. With Mahama taking the lead, his victory would mark a return to the presidency after his loss in the 2016 elections. His supporters are already celebrating, and the message from Davido adds to the excitement, as the Nigerian star is a beloved figure across West Africa.
Davido’s tweet further cements his influence in the region, as the artist has long been vocal about his support for African unity and progress. His endorsement of Mahama, alongside the social media post, is seen as a gesture of solidarity between the two countries, furthering the idea of a united West African front in music, politics, and culture.
As the election results continue to unfold, the eyes of the nation are on the Electoral Commission, which is expected to officially confirm the outcome in the coming hours. Should Mahama's victory be confirmed, it would be a significant political shift, with implications for both Ghana's domestic policies and its relationships within the West African community. For now, supporters of Mahama and the NDC are eagerly awaiting the formal announcement, while the rest of the country watches closely to see how the political landscape will shift in the wake of the election.
