Outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has pledged his unwavering support for a smooth and seamless transition of power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
The assurance came during the inauguration of the 2024 National Transition Team on Wednesday, December 11, at the Jubilee House in Accra.
The meeting, a critical milestone in Ghana’s democratic process, brought together members of both the outgoing and incoming administrations to officially commence the transition of power.
Addressing the attendees, President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his dedication to ensuring that the incoming administration has all the necessary resources and support to hit the ground running.
He expressed his belief that a successful transition is not just a matter of protocol but a duty owed to the people of Ghana.
“I assure him [John Dramani Mahama] of my full support and that of my government over the transitional process to make sure that his administration takes off in the best of conditions,” Akufo-Addo stated.
The outgoing President also highlighted the importance of continuity in governance and emphasised the need for the two teams to work collaboratively to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities.
In his response, President-elect Mahama echoed similar sentiments, expressing gratitude to President Akufo-Addo and the outgoing administration for their commitment to a peaceful transition.
He emphasised the critical role of the transition process in fostering national unity and ensuring stability.
The President-elect acknowledged the challenges facing the nation, including economic difficulties and security concerns, and pledged to work closely with the outgoing administration to address these issues effectively.
“Mr. President has given me a brief on the security situation, both internal and external and also, a short brief on issues having to do with the economy. The transitional teams will drill down further into these matters and we are going to work together in the interest of Ghana to ensure a seamless transition.”
