\u201cI said during the signing of the peace pact that I was sure of two things: Ghana will win, and peace will reign,\u201d Dr. Bawumia remarked. \u201cThe people of Ghana have spoken. They have voted for change at this time, and we respect that decision with all humility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEmphasizing Peace and Democracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr. Bawumia revealed that he had personally called Mr. Mahama to congratulate him as Ghana\u2019s President-elect.

We may have lost the battle, but not the war,\u201d Dr. Bawumia stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCommitment to a Peaceful Transition<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Vice President pledged the NPP\u2019s full cooperation in ensuring a smooth transition to the incoming government.
