But, given the overwhelming support he received from NPP loyalists, Members of Parliament (MPs), and government appointees, Dr. Bawumia's performance to the NDC is embarrassing.

Dr. Bawumia's triumph, he says, was not only historic but also spectacular. "Call it 61 percent; 61% can equal 95 percent."
