Mahama sworn in as Ghana's president

ACCRA:Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama took the oath of office on Tuesday after winning the presidential election in December last year.

A large crowd of Ghanaians from all walks of life, along with party supporters, gathered at the Black Star Square in Accra, the country's capital, to witness the grand ceremony. The event was also attended by African heads of state and other foreign dignitaries.

Mahama said that the inauguration marks a new chapter in Ghana's history and presents a rare opportunity to reset the country in various ways.

"We have been through severe economic hardships as we moved from one crisis to another in recent years. But there is hope on the horizon, and today marks the beginning of a new opportunity, an opportunity to redefine our governance and economic strategies. Together, we can reset our beloved nation," Mahama said.
