Two presidential candidates have conceded defeat in Thursday's elections. They are Professor George Panyin Hagan of the Convention People's Party (CPP) and Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby of the United Ghana Movement (UGM).
However, Mr Dan Lartey, flagbearer of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), said that it was too early for him to accept defeat since only about a third of the total results had been released.
Prof. Hagan told the Times in a telephone interview with the GNA that the results so far released indicate that "the CPP lost in all the areas we consider as our strong holds, namely Northern Ghana, the Central and Western regions."
"At the moment, we have not won even a single Parliamentary seat and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby also in a telephone call said' "the people of Ghana have spoken and we cannot do anything than to accept it."
He said though the results indicate that the people did not want to take chances with the kind of change his party wants, "it still reflects the electorate desire for change in government".
