Analysis: Ghana welcomes John Dramani Mahama as new president
John Dramani Mahama was sworn in for his second term as Ghana's president on Tuesday with a fresh mandate to tackle familiar challenges, including corruption, high unemployment, inflation, and public discontent. He replaces Nana Akufo-Addo, who steps down after serving two terms, continuing Ghana's democratic tradition in a region gripped elsewhere by military coups and Islamic militant insurgencies. VOA’s Esther Githui-Ewart spoke to Vera Abena Ado, a project coordinator and member of the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers in Accra, Ghana, for the latest in the presidential transition, and how the administration will tackle Ghanaians' most pressing concerns.
