In his victory speech, Mahama emphasized unity and healing, calling on all Ghanaians to work together for national progress.

"This victory is for the Ghanaian people, and together, we will build a stronger, more prosperous nation," he said.

With celebrations sweeping across the country, Mahama’s swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for today, January 7, 2025, at Independence Square in Accra.
