On December 7, 2024, Ghanaians went to the polls and elected former President John Dramani Mahama to lead the country for the next four years. In a resounding victory, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) reclaimed power, marking a historic moment as former President Mahama returns to office after eight years of patience and hard work.
Ghana, often celebrated as the beacon of democracy in Africa, is once again demonstrating its commitment to democratic values through a peaceful transition of power from the ruling party to the opposition—a rare feat on the continent.
The Independence Square in Accra is a sea of NDC supporters adorned in the party’s colors, gathered in jubilant celebration to witness the swearing-in of John Dramani Mahama as the 6th President of the 4th Republic. The event underscores Ghana’s reputation for maintaining peace and stability during political transitions, a critical foundation for national development.
Ghanaians continue to embrace peace as a cornerstone for fostering progress and improving lives, standing in stark contrast to the challenges faced by many other African nations during elections and transitions of power.
This moment is not just a celebration of democratic maturity but also a call to unity as the country embarks on another chapter of nation-building under President Mahama’s leadership.
