President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has met President-elect John Dramani Mahama to have preliminary discussions on the transition process which will be inaugurated later today.
The two met at the Jubilee House Wednesday, December 11, 2024, where John Mahama introduced members of his transition team to the President.
Speaking to the media after meeting with the President-elect, he said the process is in order to ensure the nation functions effectively as a democratic polity.
“All of it is in order to make sure that our nation, Ghana, continues to march forward as a functioning, effective, democratic state, which respects the will of the people, which respects human rights and the rule of law and where we are all secure in our daily lives,” he stated.
He also disclosed that they spoke about the ongoing lawlessness in some places which he expressed appreciation to the President-elect for speaking to supporters of his party and the nation as a whole on Tuesday.
“We’ve spoken a little bit about the issues that have occurred, the seeming lawlessness that has taken place over the thing, and I expressed my happiness at his intervention yesterday in speaking to the country about what was going on and the reinforcing of the authority of the state to make sure that these matters are dealt with,” he stated.
On his part, John Mahama noted that the President has briefed him on the security of the state as well as the economy, adding that the transitional team will delve further into it.
“It was very cordial, and I think we were very happy to be together. Mr. President has given me a brief on the security situation, both internal and external, and also a short brief on issues to do with the economy.
“Of course, the transitional teams will drill down further into these matters, but I am happy at the assurance he is giving us that we’re going to work together in the interest of Ghana to ensure a seamless transition,” he stated.
