H.E. JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA
FORMER PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC OF GHANA & LEADER AND FLAGBEARER OF NDC
Mr. Mahama was the fourth President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana. He was popularly elected for a four-year term (January 07, 2013 – January 06, 2017) on December 07, 2012.
He was born 63 years ago to Mr. E. A. Mahama and Madam Abiba Nnaba in Damongo, a rural community in the Northern Region of Ghana.
John Mahama made history by being the first President of Ghana to serve in all levels of political office – Member of Parliament for Bole-Bamboi Constituency, Deputy Minister for Communication, Minister for Communication, Vice President and eventually President of the Republic of Ghana.
Indeed, John Mahama considers the combination of the study of history, communications and social psychology – courses he studied for his bachelor’s and postgraduate degrees at the university – as having had a profound impact on shaping his views, thoughts and understanding of the human condition and contributed significantly to making him the person he is today.
Ghana, under President Mahama, witnessed a massive infrastructure development drive in all sectors of the economy, including education, health, ports and harbours, aviation, rail, oil and gas, ICT and many more. His vision and strategic investments in these areas have, today, solidly positioned the country for its next phase of development as a Lower Middle-Income Country.
Beyond investment in the socio-economic infrastructure, President Mahama also believes in investing in people in his desire to ensure social justice and equity, and this was reflected in his promotion of girls and women’s interest at all levels. Indeed, it was during his administration that Ghana attained gender parity in basic education. He also ensured the appointment of many women to high positions in his administration and in his last Presidential bid, selected an accomplished woman as his Vice-presidential Candidate – the first by a major political party in the country.
