When asked by her daughter where she got the money from, the woman said she had sold their house to permanently move back to Ghana.

She explained to her daughter that she was relocating home to invest in the country, citing Mahama's victory as the reason.

"I sold the house; we are moving to Ghana because John Mahama won the presidency. I'm going to invest in the money in business," she said.

Consequently, the woman asked her daughter to begin packing her luggage as they would be travelling to Ghana in a week.

Although it's unclear which political party in Ghana the US-based woman supports, her decision to relocate permanently suggests she has strong faith in Mahama's incoming administration.
