Former President John Dramani Mahama has been re-elected to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2024 elections.

The former President is on his third mission in hope to clinch victory for the party following their defeat in the 2020 elections which was contended by the party, hence resulting in a legal tussle between the NDC and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Mr. John Mahama has won the NDC Presidential primaries in a landslide victory to become the Presidential candidate of the party.

Certified results by the Electoral Commission (EC) show Mr Mahama polled an overwhelming 297,603 votes representing 98.9% of the total valid votes cast at the end of the NDC primaries on Saturday.

His closest contender, the former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu, polled a paltry 3,181  representing 1.1%.

The other contender in the NDC flagbearership race, former Finance Minister in the Mills regime, Kwabena Duffour, pulled out on Friday.

This is the fourth time John Mahama will be leading the NDC into an election.

As an incumbent, he first lost to then New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo in 2016, becoming the first President to serve only one full term.

He won the flagbearership race in February 2019 with an overwhelming endorsement of 95% votes to represent the NDC in the 2020 election.
