The NDC flagbearer who made headlines after his choice of his female former Education Minister, Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang as his running mate said, "The election of incoming VP Kamala Harris has not only shattered the glass ceiling but punched a big hole in that will inspire the world to follow these footprints of inclusion, representation and unity.”

In a related development, former President Jerry John Rawlings has applauded Mr Biden on his victory in the election.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden's contender, Donald Trump who is the incumbent president has falsely declared himself the winner of the election when vote counting is still ongoing.

With over 70 million votes the Republican candidate made history as incumbent to get the second-highest tally in the USA's election history.

Mr Trump says insists the elections were rigged hence, his campaign team has filed a ton of lawsuits in various states. 

Joe Biden is set to return to the White House, where he previously served as Vice President under the Barack Obama government.

He will be the oldest President in American history, a record previously held by the man he has now defeated, 74-year-old Donald Trump.
