The inauguration of John Dramani Mahama and Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the President and Vice President, respectively, is underway at the Black Star Square in Accra.
President Akufo-Addo, who has exhausted his two terms, is set to hand over the reins of the country to John Dramani Mahama, who will be assuming the role again.
John Mahama’s ascension to the highest office of the land was made possible by a historic victory in the 2024 elections, where the NDC won by a margin of over 1.7 million.
Ahead of the inauguration of the 6th President of the Fourth Republic, the 8th Parliament was dissolved, and the 9th Parliament was subsequently inaugurated.
The event is being graced by twenty-one heads of state, with a high level of foreign dignitaries also confirming their attendance.
The Ministry of Information confirmed in a January 6, 2025 statement that the international guests include three Vice Presidents, four Ministers, and 24 envoys.
The Black Star Square is already packed with enthusiastic Ghanaians and foreigners who are present to witness the beautiful ceremony.
John Mahama defeated Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, in the December 7 elections.
