I’ve agreed with Akufo-Addo on early transition starting on Dec. 11 – Mahama

President-elect of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has stated that the outgoing President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has called to congratulate him, and the two have agreed on an early transition.

According to Mahama, they have decided to form a joint transition team this week, just two days after his confirmation as the winner of the 2024 polls.

“I have also just received a call from His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo. He graciously extended his congratulations to me, and we had the opportunity to discuss matters related to the joint transition team. We have agreed on an early inauguration of the joint transition team as early as Wednesday, 11th December,” he said.

Mr Mahama made these remarks while delivering his victory speech shortly after the Electoral Commission declared him the president-elect.

He expressed his appreciation for the efforts and affirmed his readiness to collaborate and take the necessary steps in the interest of the people.

“I conveyed my sincerest regards to him and expressed my readiness for us to work together to ensure a smooth transition in the best interest of the Ghanaian people,” he added.
