John Dramani Mahama returns to presidency in Ghana

ai generated text

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia of Ghana conceded defeat in the presidential election, congratulating former President John Mahama on his victory. The economy, including Ghana's default on its debt, was a major election issue, with Mahama promising to "reset" Ghana and renegotiate parts of the IMF deal.

    1. People are looking for change and they trust Mahama to steer the country in a better direction.
    1. It is very clear the people of this country have voted for change.
    1. The people of Ghana have spoken, the people have voted for change at this time and we respect it with all humility.
    2. I have since called H.E John Dramani Mahama to congratulate him as President-elect of the Republic of Ghana.
    1. President Mahama, as ECOWAS chair, mediated a lot of conflicts in the sub-region, and with this experience, I believe he will have a critical role to play in bringing the sub-region together and mediating Ghana's internal conflicts.
    2. Policy is blind to identity. Any good policy will benefit anybody anywhere, regardless of where you come from. So if Mahama implements the right policies, it doesn't matter whether he is a northerner or not, northern Ghana will develop.
    1. I think it has to do with the economy, which is largely a bread and butter issue for every Ghanaian.
    2. When the people elect you, they require you to do certain things for them. But it was also about the style of governance (because) even in other countries facing economic challenges, governments were being honest with the people, telling them what the reality is, and the steps they have taken to manage it.
