President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his determination to make his second term count, reaffirming his commitment to strengthening Ghana’s economy and improving governance systems.
According to him, his second mandate will focus on implementing enduring economic and governance reforms that cannot be undone by future administrations.
President Mahama returned to power for a second term after eight years in opposition, following his loss in the 2016 elections.
Speaking at the annual New Year School Conference on Tuesday, January 6, he assured:
“I have decided to make this second mandate so graciously granted to me by Ghanaians count. I have pledged to raise our economy and governance to a level that no succeeding government can reverse.”
President Mahama noted that Ghana must set an example at a time when democratic governance is under pressure in parts of the region.
“In a region where democracy is backsliding, we must demonstrate that democracy works and that our people can have faith in their leaders to uphold their interests and create opportunities for national prosperity,” he stated.
He further assured Ghanaians that his administration would maintain fiscal discipline and sound economic management throughout his tenure.
“I can assure Ghanaians also that we will not relax the current fiscal discipline and efficient management of the economy even in the election year of 2028,” the President added.
