On behalf of the Bureau, the entire membership of the Pan-African Parliament and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to convey our hearty congratulations to the President-elect of the Republic of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, on his resounding victory in the Presidential elections.
Mr. Mahama is a former member of the Pan-African Parliament.
The re-election of Mr. Mahama to serve a second term as President of the Republic of Ghana is as much an expression of the people of Ghana’s nostalgic remembrance of his first term as President as it is a reaffirmation of their confidence and belief in his tried and tested leadership.
The Pan-African Parliament applauds the former Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for putting the interests of Ghana first by graciously conceding defeat and congratulating the President-elect thus reaffirming Ghana’s enduring democratic character. The Pan-African Parliament also applauds the people of Ghana for the peaceful manner in which the elections were conducted.
The Pan-African Parliament cherishes the strong bonds of solidarity that exist between the continental legislature and the Republic of Ghana and looks forward to the further enhancement of these relations with the Republic Ghana under the able stewardship of one of our own.
Long Live Ghana! Long Live Representative Democracy!
H.E. Chief Fortune Z. Charumbira
PRESIDENT OF THE PAN-AFRICAN PARLIAMENT
