On January 7, 2025, John Dramani Mahama was officially sworn in as Ghana’s 6th President during a historic ceremony at the Black Star Square in Accra. This marks his return to the presidency after securing a resounding victory in the December 2024 elections. The event was attended by an esteemed group of dignitaries, including 21 heads of state, three vice presidents, four ministers, and 24 diplomats.
The mood at the ceremony was filled with hope and a renewed sense of purpose as Mahama took the oath of office, committing to lead the country toward economic recovery, social progress, and greater unity. In a historic moment, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was sworn in as Ghana’s first female Vice President, an achievement that was widely celebrated as a major step forward for gender equality in leadership.
As Mahama begins his new term, his administration is set to focus on key issues such as restoring economic stability, improving healthcare, and enhancing education. However, the government will face the challenging task of rebuilding public trust and meeting the expectations set during the campaign.
The inauguration was a powerful reminder of Ghana’s commitment to democratic principles and its ongoing progress in fostering unity and inclusivity. As the nation moves forward under Mahama’s leadership, there is a shared sense of optimism and hope for a more prosperous future.
