President John Dramani Mahama has begun his second term with a bold declaration: this time, the changes he brings to Ghana will be both profound and enduring.
Returning to the presidency after an eight-year hiatus, President Mahama used the stage of the annual New Year School Conference on Tuesday, January 6, to outline his vision for a legacy of irreversible reforms.
Addressing participants, he shared his resolve to elevate both the economy and governance systems to new heights. “I have decided to make this second mandate so graciously granted to me by Ghanaians count. I have pledged to raise our economy and governance to a level that no succeeding government can reverse,” he affirmed, signaling a new era of reform.
President Mahama drew attention to the broader context of democratic backsliding in the region, stressing the need for Ghana to stand as a beacon of democratic resilience.
“In a region where democracy is backsliding, we must demonstrate that democracy works and that our people can have faith in their leaders to uphold their interests and create opportunities for national prosperity,” he said.
Reassuring the nation, President Mahama promised to uphold fiscal discipline and prudent economic management, vowing that such standards would not be compromised, even as the country approaches the 2028 election year. His commitment sets the tone for a second term dedicated to progress that cannot easily be undone, no matter who holds office next.
