The former president, who served an eight-year term in office before departing the seat of governance, sat in a chair beside John Agyekum Kufuor.

The two former presidents conversed with each other as they waited for the commencement of Ghana's 68th Independence Anniversary Commemoration Parade at the Jubilee House.

The annual event, which was regularly held at the Black Star Square in Accra in the past was moved to the Jubilee House after President Mahama and his NDC administration cut the budget for the celebrations by 90% to reduce the costs from GH₵15 million under the previous administration amid severe economic hardship in the country.

The president is expected to address the nation to mark the beginning of the celebrations of Ghana's independence from the British colonial rulers on March 6, 1957.
