Speaking shortly after the grand ceremony at the Black Star Square, Kumchacha described outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the worst leader in Ghana's history.

Expressing excitement over Mahama's return to power, the preacher pointed to several incidents that, in his view, marked Nana Addo's tenure as problematic.

Kumchacha cited the controversial National Cathedral project, which faced widespread criticism over funding transparency and prioritization. He also referenced Nana Addo's directive for traditional chiefs to rise in his presence, an act many saw as a breach of cultural norms and respect.

The inauguration ceremony was a momentous occasion, with dignitaries, citizens, and international representatives gathering to witness Mahama being sworn in by Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo. Presided over by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, the event marked Mahama's return to the presidency after serving as Ghana’s leader from 2012 to 2017.

Mahama’s victory in the December elections was historic. He secured 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the total votes cast, defeating the New Patriotic Party’s candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, who garnered 4,657,304 votes, or 41.61%. The results, announced by the Electoral Commission, were from 267 of Ghana’s constituencies.

This win makes John Mahama the first former president in Ghana’s history to return to power, a milestone that has generated both local and international attention.
