However, he swept 297,603 (98.9%) of the total valid votes cast during the NDC’s primaries held on Saturday, May 13.
His contender Kojo Bonsu managed to poll 3,181 (1.1%) votes.
The Electoral Commission’s returning officer declared the results in the wee hours of Sunday, May 14.
The Former President went into the contest with former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and former Kumasi Mayor, Kojo Bonsu.
Dr. Duffuor, however, withdrew from the race after claiming discrepancies with the party’s electoral roll.
The campaign team of Mahama had earlier indicated that they were confident of securing 99.9% of the votes in the primaries.
Deputy spokesperson of the team, Beatrice Annan said the rousing welcome the team received in all the 275 constituencies they visited ahead of the primaries has strengthened and solidified their belief of an overwhelming victory in the flagbearership race.
Kojo Bonsu earlier congratulated John Dramani Mahama for winning the primaries by a landslide victory.
In a Facebook post, the former Kumasi Mayor disclosed that he had placed a call to Mr Mahama to congratulate him on his victory.
