In the 2016 general election, Nana Akufo-Addo emerged victorious, defeating the incumbent president, John Mahama. This election marked a significant political shift in Ghana, as Akufo-Addo's win was seen as a response to the electorate's desire for change after Mahama's tenure. Following his initial victory, Akufo-Addo successfully secured re-election in 2020, despite facing challenges to the election results from Mahama, who contested the outcome at the Supreme Court. The court ultimately upheld Akufo-Addo's victory, allowing him to continue his presidency.
In Ghana, the constitution limits presidents to two four-year terms, ensuring that a president can only serve a second term through re-election. This framework is designed to promote democratic governance and accountability within the political system. Akufo-Addo's leadership has focused on various initiatives aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare, reflecting his commitment to improving the lives of Ghanaians during his time in office.
