John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as Ghana’s president for an unprecedented third term on Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in the country’s history. The ceremony, held at the Independence Square in Accra, was attended by thousands of Ghanaians from all walks of life, as well as dignitaries from across the continent. Mahama, 66, who previously served as president from July 2011 to January 2017, won the presidential election late last year on a promise to tackle Ghana’s worst economic crisis in a generation, corruption, and unemployment. His campaign prioritized the economy and resonated with young Ghanaians who saw the vote as a way out of the crisis. In his address, Mahama acknowledged the challenges facing the country, saying, “There is a seismic shift happening within the system of global economic dominance.” He emphasized the need for regional cooperation, stating, “Now more than ever before, we need to strengthen our ties with our neighbors to ensure that we are working together to keep our sub-region safe.” Mahama’s inauguration marks a new chapter in Ghana’s history, as he prepares to tackle the country’s economic woes and restore stability. His leadership will be closely watched by the international community, as Ghana seeks to regain its footing as a stable democracy and economic powerhouse in West Africa.
