John Mahama polled 6,214,889 which represents 47.36% of the total votes cast.
However, a statement from the EC after the declaration, said the Chairperson "inadvertently used 13,433,573 as the total valid votes cast".
"The total valid votes cast is 13,119,460", adding that the correction in the figures "does not change the percentages stated for each candidate and the declaration made by the Chairperson," it said.
