Concession in Elections
In an election, a concession is when a candidate publicly admits that they have lost the election to another candidate. This is a common practice in democratic elections and helps to show respect for the election results and the peaceful transfer of power. When a candidate refuses to concede, it means they do not accept the outcome.
