Accra - Ghana's President John Mahama

called opposition leader Nana Akufo-Addo to concede defeat in

Wednesday's national election, a senior aide to Akufo-Addo told

Reuters on Friday.

The concession will quell uncertainty at the end of a day in

which independent voting tallies showing an Akufo-Addo victory

were broadly accepted.

The electoral commission has said it will announce official

results by Saturday.
