Other leaders from across Africa and beyond also extended their well-wishes to the new president, with many emphasizing the importance of continued stability and cooperation in West Africa. The victory has been hailed as a testament to Ghana’s democratic resilience and the people’s commitment to the democratic process.
Mahama, in his victory speech, emphasized the need for unity and collaboration during the transition, vowing to work towards the betterment of the country and to uphold the values of peace and democracy.
