The first year of Ghana President John Dramani Mahama’s second term has been marked by visible efforts to revitalise the economy and rebuild public trust in state institutions.
“Ghanaians have really understood what Mahama meant by ‘resetting’ the country,” said Clement Akoloh, Director of Communications at Parliamentary Network Africa. He highlighted improvements in economic indicators, including lower inflation, while noting that job creation for Ghana’s youth remains a pressing priority.
In a national address, Mahama described the past twelve months as a period of difficult but necessary decisions, focused on stabilising the economy and restoring confidence in key institutions. The next phase of his Presidency will aim to deliver tangible benefits for ordinary Ghanaians, from employment opportunities to easing the cost of living.
Akoloh noted that Mahama’s clear communication of his “reset” agenda helped secure an overwhelming parliamentary majority and build trust across institutions, including the security services. Polls suggest over 62% of Ghanaians are satisfied with his performance so far.
