John Mahama has taken the oath of office as Ghana’s new president in a ceremony attended by world leaders.
Mahama was sworn in at Independence Square in Accra, the Ghanaian capital on today.
The new president took over from Nana Akufo-Ado who succeeded him in 2017. Before Mahama’s swearing-in, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was inaugurated as the country’s first female vice president.
The Chief Justice of Ghana Gertrude Torkornoo administered the oath of office at the event.
The duo won the election held in December with Mahama returning to the post he left seven years ago with a mission to revive Ghana’s ailing economy.
