Akufo-Addo Pledges Full Support for Mahama’s Transition
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has pledged unwavering support for President-elect John Mahama to ensure a smooth transfer of power. During a meeting at the Jubilee House, Akufo-Addo stressed the importance of a seamless transition to safeguard the interests of Ghanaians and uphold democratic values. Speaking to journalists, he reiterated his commitment to providing all necessary assistance for the incoming administration to begin its work under the best possible conditions. The meeting marked a key step in Ghana’s democratic process, reflecting both leaders' shared responsibility to foster peace and national stability during this critical period.
John Mahama, in turn, appreciated the outgoing President’s cooperative approach and the cordial atmosphere of their discussions. He announced the establishment of a 10-member transition team to oversee the power transfer and emphasized the need for open communication between the outgoing and incoming governments. Mahama expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating that it would ensure not only a seamless transition but also the consolidation of Ghana’s democratic credentials. He further highlighted the significance of maintaining dialogue even beyond the transition phase to promote unity and national progress, reinforcing his commitment to the country’s collective well-being.
In the same vein, Akufo-Addo named his transition team, led by Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare, signaling his readiness to cooperate. However, concerns were raised by Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP and Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, who suggested halting the process until unresolved parliamentary seat disputes are settled. Despite this, both Akufo-Addo and Mahama have showcased a unified front, demonstrating their commitment to preserving Ghana’s democratic traditions. This collaborative effort underlines the nation’s dedication to fostering peaceful transitions and strengthening its reputation as a beacon of democracy in Africa.
