John Mahama's Return: Can He Fulfill Ghana's Hopes?

John Mahama has been declared the president-elect of Ghana, winning with 56.6% of the vote against Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's 41.6%. This marks a significant comeback for Mahama, who previously served as president from 2012 to 2017. In his victory speech, Mahama promised a new beginning for Ghana, which is currently facing an economic crisis. The election saw a voter turnout of 60.9% and was generally peaceful, although there were some incidents of violence. Mahama's victory also marks the election of Ghana's first female Vice-President, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.
