ACCRA- President advocate Duma Boko (right) congratulating President John Dramani Mahama during his inauguration and swearing in as Ghana's 13th President at the Black Star Square yesterday. President Advocate Duma Boko was among Heads of State and Government who graced the event.

 Botswana and Ghana are among African countries that are leading democracies and have served as examples of peaceful transfer of power to new administrations, even after 58 years of rule by a single political party, in the case of Botswana. President Mahama who had previously served as the 11^th President of Ghana, from 2012 to January 7, 2017, was re-elected into power in December 2024, to succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo who has served since 2017 to January 7, 2025. Peaceful transition of power is part of the democratic processes that signify respect for the rule of law, good governance and respect of the will of the people. Photo:Yobe Shonga
