In a public statement, Obama said the election outcome conveyed a clear message about the direction American citizens, according to him, expect from political leaders.
The American people sent a clear message. They want a policy that unites people and not divides them, as well as leaders offering concrete solutions to the challenges they face, Obama declared.
Obama also praised the commitment of democratic candidates, who, according to him, managed to mobilise support in different regions of the country, including areas that were previously considered difficult to win.
He stressed that the candidates came from different backgrounds and represented different political attitudes, but were united by common values and devotion to the public service.
These results were possible only because prominent candidates appeared in every region of the country, including areas once considered difficult to win, it says in its statement.
The former US president also expressed gratitude for thousands of election officials and volunteers from both political parties who contributed to the success of the election process.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to thousands of election officials and volunteers from both sides, who helped secure peaceful elections and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy, Obama stressed.
Obama called for political commitment and focus on future steps, underlining that the remaining period of the current administration’s mandate should be used to protect citizens’ interests and prepare the ground for the future.
While this administration has been in charge for two years, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage and lay the groundwork for the future, concluded the former American president.
Obama’s reaction comes at an important moment of political developments in the US, following Tuesday’s elections, which defined a significant part of political representation at the federal and state level.
