John Mahama's Appointment Rumors – President-elect's Office Denies Purported List of Appointees
The office of President-elect John Dramani Mahama has dismissed recent claims about a list of appointments being circulated on social media. The alleged list, which supposedly names individuals who are set to take up ministerial positions in Mahama's upcoming administration, has been widely shared, sparking significant discussion and debate online.
The rumors gained traction shortly after Mahama's victory was announced. The list included names of prominent figures, some of whom served during Mahama's previous presidency, leading to speculations about a return to familiar faces in key government positions. However, a statement issued by Mahama’s communication team on Monday has made it clear that the list is entirely fabricated.
"We urge the public to disregard any such list of appointments being circulated. President-elect Mahama has not yet made any decisions regarding his cabinet or other key appointments," the statement read. The team further stressed that official announcements would be made through proper channels, and people should be cautious of misinformation.
This denial comes as no surprise to political analysts who believe that the formation of a new administration takes time and consideration. Political commentator Dr. Selorm Mensah remarked, "It's standard practice for rumors to fly in the aftermath of elections. People are eager to know what direction the new administration will take, but spreading unverified information only creates confusion."
The spread of misinformation during political transitions has become increasingly common with the rise of social media. Many supporters and critics alike took to platforms like Twitter and Facebook to debate the contents of the alleged list. While some welcomed the supposed appointees, others voiced concerns, questioning whether the appointments indicated real change.
The President-elect’s office has encouraged the public and media outlets to rely on verified information and to avoid amplifying rumors. They emphasized that transparency and accountability would be key principles in Mahama's governance and that all appointments would reflect those values.
As the President-elect prepares to assume office, the public remains eager for official updates on his cabinet and policy priorities. For now, supporters are advised to stay patient and await announcements from credible sources.
