Ghana Swears in John Mahama to serve as President for the Third Time

On Tuesday 7th January 2025, John Mahama took the presidential oath for the  third time, stepping in to lead the nation through what many call its toughest economic period in recent history. The inauguration at Black Star Square made history with Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang being sworn in as the country's first female Vice President. The ceremony drew impressive support from across Africa, with presidents from Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, and several other nations attending to show their solidarity. This strong turnout shows  Ghana's important role in African politics and its steady democratic tradition.

Mahama, 66, returns to a familiar office, having previously served as president from 2012 to 2017. His political journey began as communications minister, and he first became president in July 2012 following the death of President John Evans Atta Mills. He then won the 2012 election in his own right, serving until 2017. His recent victory in December 2024 came after a campaign that spoke directly to Ghanaians' concerns about the economy, corruption, and unemployment. The election, which international observers praised for its orderly conduct, saw strong support from young voters who viewed Mahama as the right leader to guide Ghana through its current challenges. In his inaugural address, Mahama outlined clear priorities: rebuilding the economy, bringing stability to Ghana's financial situation, and tackling corruption. His promise to "reset" the country resonated with voters facing rising living costs and economic hardship.

As Mahama begins his new term, he faces the immediate challenge of delivering on his campaign promises while maintaining Ghana's position as a stable democracy in West Africa. With the historic appointment of Ghana's first female Vice President and strong regional support, his administration starts with both high expectations and significant goodwill from the international community.
