Mahama Celebrates One‑Year Anniversary of Election Win

President John Dramani Mahama marked the first anniversary of his 2024 election victory on 7 December 2025, thanking Ghanaians and reaffirming his transformation agenda.

Mahama secured 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55 % of the total valid votes, while his main rival Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party obtained 4,657,304 votes (41.61 %). The result marked Mahama’s return to the presidency after leaving office in 2017.

In a reflective Instagram post, the President praised the determination of millions who queued to vote last year, driven by hope and confidence in his vision.

“Thank you, Ghanaians. You believed in the promise of an agenda. You trusted in our collective vision to ‘Build the Ghana We Want’,” Mahama wrote.

He applauded the National Democratic Congress grassroots, campaign teams and polling agents, describing them as “the heartbeat of this victory” and crediting their vigilance for safeguarding the integrity of the 2024 election.

“We are building a Ghana for all our people, without discrimination, without exclusion, without favouritism,” the President affirmed, adding that the Ghana we want is “not a dream deferred but a promise in progress.”

Mahama reiterated that his administration, together with Vice‑President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku‑Agyemang, remains fully committed to creating opportunities, restoring hope and strengthening trust in national institutions.

“To my NDC family, hold on tight. Your reward is not just in positions or appointments, but in the Ghana we are building together – delivering a Ghana where your children will have opportunities, where justice prevails, and where hard work is rewarded,” he said.

He concluded by assuring citizens that “the journey continues” and “the work goes on,” thanking both Ghanaians and the NDC family for their unwavering support.
