John Mahama Officially Sworn In As The New President Of Ghana

A new era of leadership begins with John Dramani Mahama’s swearing-in ceremony in Independence Square. Together with Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who is now the first female vice president of Ghana, President Mahama has formally taken the oath of office as the country’s president for a second term.

On Tuesday, January 7, thousands of people attended the swearing-in ceremony in Accra’s Independence Square, which included prominent dignitaries from throughout Africa and beyond.

With a fresh mandate from the people, Mahama returns to the presidency, securing his place in Ghana’s democratic history as one of the political records created just as Naana Opoku-Agyemang.

A major glass ceiling in Ghanaian politics has been broken by Naana, the former Minister of Education, and this is a critical moment for the representation of women in leadership positions throughout the nation and the continent.

As leaders from Africa and other countries, such as China, Japan, Mauritiania, Germany, Nigeria, Congo, Burkina Faso, and many more, gathered to honor Ghana’s enduring democratic legacy, the atmosphere at Independence Square was a mix of celebration and symbolism.
