The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has extended congratulations to President elect, John Dramani Mahama and all Ghanaians for the peaceful elections.
“Your victory, Your Excellency, is a resounding testament to the trust and confidence the Ghanaian people have in your vision, leadership, social contract and unwavering dedication to advancing the progress and prosperity of our beloved nation,” UTAG said in a statement on December 10.
UTAG also congratulated the Vice President-Elect, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang. The Association says it is incredibly proud of Prof. Jane’s achievements as the first female Vice Chancellor of a Public University (University of Cape Coast) in Ghana and, above all, the first female Vice President-Elect of the Republic of Ghana.
UTAG further commended Dr. Bawumia for his early concession which they say eased tensions associated with the election.
“UTAG also extends its gratitude to H.E. Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and Flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), for his timely concession, which played a pivotal role in easing tension and uncertainties during this critical period.
“This act of statesmanship is commendable and deeply appreciated. We further commend the Electoral Commission for demonstrating resilience, transparency, and unwavering commitment to ensuring the credibility of the elections. Your efforts have upheld Ghana’s democratic values,” UTAG acknowledged.
UTAG expressed gratitude to the Elections Security Taskforce for their immense contributions towards maintaining peace and security throughout the electoral process.
“Finally, UTAG congratulates all Ghanaians for their patience, civic responsibility, and adherence to the peaceful processes that have defined this election. Your efforts uphold Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of democracy in Africa. Once again, congratulations, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the President-Elect of the Republic of Ghana.”
