A section of Ghanaians has welcomed the result of the 2016 elections, saying it is a reflection of the will of the people.
They have, therefore, commended the Electoral Commission for running the elections smoothly and letting the will of the people fulfilled.
Many of the people, spotted in either New Patriotic Party or National Democratic Congress party colours, were seen mainly dancing to the original or remix of the NDC campaign song, “John 3:16” .
Sharing their views on the outcome of the elections, most of the people who spoke to the Ghana News Agency, in Accra, said they were happy that Ghana had continued to remain peaceful after the elections.
They, however, reminded the President-Elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, to endeavour to fulfil his campaign promises on assuming office.
Mr Kofi Takyi, taxi driver said: “Nana Addo should just fix the economy and provide jobs for the youth, and that will be well enough for us”.
Mr Emmanuel Abaka, a Teacher at Fountain Gate Academy at Auntie-Aku /Sowutuom, said: “The National Health Issuance Scheme should be fixed for us to enable us to easily access health care when we are sick.
“Currently, the health insurance is not working effectively and when you go to the hospital with it, it is like a mockery”.
He also urged the incoming Government to fulfil its promise to teachers to enhance their work.
Madam Grace Nkoom, a store keeper at A-Lang, also urged the new government to do well to build the factories he promised and also reduce taxes, emphasising that lorry fares should not be increased “anyhow”.
Ms Karley Djanie, a seamstress, urged the incoming Government to put good policies that would benefit small and medium scale enterprises in place so they could all experience an economic boom.
Meanwhile, most Ghanaians continue to celebrate the election victory as many people were spotted by GNA around the city on Monday clad in NPP colours of white, red and blue as they went about their various trades and duties.
Many taxi drivers continued to hang NPP flags, while some people had in their hands other paraphernalia touting their joy over the victory.
A few supporters of the outgoing National Democratic Congress party government who spoke with the GNA said the victory was indeed for all Ghanaians. They were also spotted in NDC T-shirts and flags jubilating as well.
Mr Eric Nortey, a sympathiser of NDC said: “This victory should not only be for NPP, we all won the elections together”.

You this will you be happy if people insult akuffo addo like the way you used to insulting mahama on this platform. We are all watching
Nana we looooovvveeee youuuu.
You can list them and go on and on,but one thing is these people are not new to governance,if they were able to bring in social interventions to help all Ghanaians but not selected few like ndc were doing to even interventions that were not their brain child then definitely they will never fail the people of Ghana.These people in the NPP are self made already,they have something in their bank accounts already,they have their own houses,their own cars and are taking good care of their kids already so Ghana has no cause to trouble they are coming to work for them even if they take they will never empty the purse like the ndc who came for themselves,family;friends and cronies. The Ghanaian people believe in them and voted for change,this election was determined by the people of Ghana not Togo,Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast like before,the big margin represent the how Ghanaians love the NPP and the hope they have in them. Ndc don't worry for they will deliver,Ghana will be great again,the banks will be chasing people for loans again,gas will be sent to homes for sale,school children will board buses for free,school feeding will be healthy and the NHIS will work for all holders,they are going to give good governance not stomach infrastructure gocernance
Ghanaians will look for JDM like we are now doing to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The lies have earned Nana Addo the presidency, The NDC wish him well but Ghanaian are watching and waiting for your promises. one village one dam, one district one factory, Free SHS,allawances for Teacher and Nurses trainees who are doing dipolma like their colleges in winneba and cape coast universities and other universities doing the same dip will be waiting.building a port at james town, free maternal health care reduction of taxes and removal taxes on import duties on raw materials etc. Ghanaians can only wait longer for 24 months (2 years).no excuses what so ever. Nana must fix our problems like the way John Mahama fixed dumsor otherwise there will be a big issues in Ghana.
