2025 Presidential Inaugration of John Mahama
The Black Star Square in Accra is the venue for the highly anticipated swearing-in ceremony of Ghana’s President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, scheduled for Tuesday, January 7, 2025. This marks Mahama’s return to leadership as he replaces outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo, who has served two terms.
The inauguration will also witness Members of Parliament taking their oath of office. Among them is actor-turned-politician John Dumelo, who made history by winning the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat for the NDC in Ghana’s December 7, 2024, general elections. His victory ends a 24-year drought for the NDC in the constituency.
John Mahama’s inauguration is attracting attention locally and internationally, with 21 Heads of State, three Vice Presidents, and other dignitaries expected to attend.
