The ceremony brought several dignitaries across the globe to witness a new chapter in Ghana's political history: Mahama becoming the first President to be deputised by a woman.
In an interview granted at the ceremony, which was attended Mrs Dumelo, she weighed in on the task ahead of her husband.
The actor-turned-politician was sworn in as the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon moments before Mahama's swearing-in ceremony.
Dumelo beat his primary opponent and the constituency's incumbent MP, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, who ran on the New Patriotic Party's ticket. He polled 40,561, while his opponent secured 27,377 votes.
According to Gifty Dumelo, she has a knack for issues pertaining to women and children. In the interview, she shared her plans to serve women and children to lighten the load on her husband's shoulders.
Gifty Mawunya Nkornu is a trained lawyer who was called to the bar in 2023. She and the new MP tied the knot in 2018 in a white wedding ceremony held at the plush Royal Senchi Resort outside Accra.
They welcomed their first baby, John Dumelo Jnr, on October 16 that same year.
