John Mahama sworn in as Ghana’s president
John Mahama has returned to Ghana’s Jubilee House as the democratically elected president for the second time.
Mahama was sworn in Accra, the capital of Ghana, on Tuesday after defeating Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), in December’s elections.
Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) polled 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55 percent of the vote cast, while Bawumia gathered 4,657,304 votes with 41.6 percent.
Bawumia conceded defeat before the official results were announced.
Mahama, 66, was sworn in alongside Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the first woman to become vice-president in Ghana.
Some 20 African leaders, including Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, were present at the inauguration ceremony.
