John Dramani Mahama has officially taken the oath of office as Ghana’s president. The inauguration ceremony, held in Accra, Ghana’s capital, was attended by many world leaders, including Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu.

Mahama secured his return to power by winning the December 8, 2024, presidential election. He defeated his main opponent, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, to reclaim the presidency. This marks Mahama’s second time leading the nation, having previously served as Ghana’s 12th president from 2011 to 2017.

The ceremony is a significant moment for Ghana, as Mahama begins his new term to lead the country forward.
