President-elect John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to strengthening ties with neighbouring countries and fostering unity across the African continent following high-level engagements with the Presidents of Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, and Gabon.
The meetings form part of his regional diplomatic efforts to enhance cooperation in trade, security, and sustainable development since he won the December 7 polls.
“I just wrapped up an incredible visit with the Presidents of Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, and Gabon as part of my commitment to fostering strong relationships with our geographical neighbours and friends in West Africa and on the continent.”
“My discussions with the various leaders reaffirmed our shared values and aspirations for progress across the continent. Our conversations touched on exploring opportunities for collaboration in trade, security, and sustainable development, ensuring that our partnerships benefit not only our nations but the people we serve,” the President-elect posted on his social media handles.
Mr Mahama also stressed his ongoing commitment to expanding Ghana’s influence and fostering cooperation both within West Africa and beyond.
“I will continue to work both within and outside our subregion towards a brighter, more prosperous future for our youth and the vulnerable.”
Former President John Dramani Mahama clinched victory in Ghana’s 2024 presidential election, after he secured 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the total valid votes cast. His closest contender, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), obtained 4,657,304 votes, translating to 41.61%.
Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC), also secured a huge majority in Parliament.
