"The Electoral Commission even in the midst of the pandemic has done a yeoman's job and we can only urge them to continue on the path of achieving the greatest strides in future.
"The orderly, commendable and peaceful conduct of Ghanaians on election day is to be widely applauded," he said.
Akufo-Addo expressed gratitude to the people of Ghana for voting him into power and trusting him to deliver on his mandate.
He encouraged members of his party to celebrate their hardwork and loyalty to the New Patriotic Party.
"NPP supporters should understandably celebrate and jubilate but desist from untoward acts."
