John Mahama has been sworn in as Ghana’s president, marking his return to the highest office in the land.
This ceremony, attended by world leaders, comes after John Mahama’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, where he defeated Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
Mahama’s re-election is a significant milestone, as he previously served as Ghana’s 12th President from 2011 to 2017.
His inaugural address emphasized the need for a national reset to address Ghana’s economic challenges, which have been exacerbated by record inflation, debt, and high unemployment.
The ceremony, held in Accra, Ghana’s capital, was attended by dignitaries, including Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, who departed Lagos on Monday to attend the inauguration.
As John Mahama begins his new term, he faces the daunting task of reviving Ghana’s economy and addressing the country’s pressing challenges.
Mahama’s commitment to democracy and good governance has been evident throughout his career.
He previously served as Vice President under John Atta Mills and became President after Mills’ passing in 2012.
Mahama’s experience and leadership skills will be crucial in navigating Ghana’s complex economic and social landscape.
