In his inaugural speech, President Mahama pledged to uphold the trust of the Ghanaian people and steer the nation toward economic recovery, unity, and inclusive development.
He also emphasized a renewed commitment to good governance, transparency, and addressing the pressing needs of Ghanaians.
The ceremony saw the attendance of 21 heads of state, former leaders, and dignitaries, including Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa, and Liberia’s George Weah.
The outgoing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Samira Bawumia, John Agyekum Kufuor, and Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings were also at the ceremony.
