Mahama marks first anniversary of election victory with renewed pledge to pursue Resetting Ghana agenda
On 7 December 2025, President John Dramani Mahama commemorated the first anniversary of his decisive victory in the 2024 presidential election with a message of gratitude to Ghanaians and a renewed commitment to his administration’s vision. The victory had returned his party to power with wide popular support.
In his public message, President Mahama recalled the optimism, hope, and resolute faith of millions of citizens who cast their ballots, describing their participation as a powerful expression of trust in the promise to reset Ghana’s trajectory. He acknowledged the contributions of polling agents, party activists, and campaign teams, calling them the “heartbeat of this victory.”
He used the occasion to reaffirm his commitment to the flagship campaign platform, tagged #ResettingGhana, promising that his government will continue to work toward building a Ghana that delivers opportunity, justice, and progress for all citizens, regardless of background or region. “The Ghana we want is not a dream deferred but a promise in progress,” he said.
President Mahama pledged inclusive governance, stressing that national development should not favour any one group but benefit all Ghanaians. He assured citizens that his administration will uphold principles of accountability, fairness, and unity as it pursues reforms across sectors including economy, social services, and infrastructure.
The anniversary also served as a moment of reflection for many. For supporters, it reinforced hope that the new administration would deliver change after years of economic hardship and public discontent. For critics, it was a reminder of unfulfilled expectations and the challenges ahead. Analysts say the President’s message seeks to balance hope and realism, acknowledging the burdens that many citizens still carry, while pushing forward on a broad agenda for reform.
As Ghana embarks on the second year of the Mahama presidency, attention will focus on concrete actions and tangible outcomes. The pledges made on this anniversary set a high bar for performance and accountability from the government.
For many Ghanaians, the anniversary is more than a political milestone — it is a reaffirmation of faith in national renewal and a call to hold leaders to their promises toward building a more inclusive, prosperous Ghana.
