Professor Joshua Alabi has conceded defeat after losing to former President John Mahama in the NDC's primary on Saturday.
Prof Joshua Alabi, in a telephone conversation, told Mahama the "gap was too wide".
"I called him more than two and a half hours ago and we spoke and I congratulated him. We just cracked jokes and I only told him that the gap was too much and he shouldn't have done that..." he said in an interview on Citi FM.
At the end of the day, John Dramani Mahama grabbed 213,487 votes representing 95.24% out of the total valid vote cast of 225,521.
He was followed by Prof. Joshua Alabi who managed only 3,404 votes representing 1.52% while Alban Sumani Kingsford Bagbin placed third with 2,301 representing 1.033%.
Goosie Tanoh, the founder of the defunct National Reformed Party, came fourth with 2,091 votes respectively representing 0.93%.
The former Trade and Industry Minister in the Mahama government, Ekwow Spio Garbrah received 1,447 votes which represent 0.65% of the total votes.
Mr. Sylvester Mensah and Nurudeen Iddrisu secured a paltry 934 of valid votes cast representing 0.42% and 520 votes representing 0.23% respectively.

Yes that is statesmanship, just as Mahama conceded defeat, to the surprise of many, to Nana Addo. What you sow is what you reap. Nana Addo should be ready to concede in 2020. Cool
Professor Alabi had exhibited maturity. He is a good material.
