Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has pushed back against claims that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s early concession in the 2024 presidential election was responsible for disruptions in the collation of parliamentary results.

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini linked the incomplete collation of results in constituencies like Ablekuma North to Bawumia’s premature concession to NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama.

Fuseini argued that the concession — made before the Electoral Commission had officially declared results — led to confusion and a breakdown in the focus on parliamentary collation in some areas.

Speaking in response to the assertions made by The former Tamale Central MP, Mohammed described the argument as unfounded and unconvincing.

“It’s very difficult to get it and say that it was because of the early concession,” he stated. “It cannot… His concession was a contributory factor.”

“In my opinion, it was not a contributory factor to what happened,” Mohammed added on ‘s on Saturday July 12.
