The Movement for Mahama on Tuesday congratulated newly sworn in President John Dramani Mahama, for winning one of the most hardest fought elections in Ghana's political history.

The pro-Mahama group said in a statement issued in Accra and copied to the Ghana News Agency that, it was with great sense of national pride and admiration as Ghanaians, Africans and the rest of the world witnessed the swearing in of the President at the Independence Square on Monday, January 7.

“With fearless dedication, hard-work, tolerance and humility, it is our prayer that President Mahama will continue to lead and inspire the youth of Ghana as he formally assumes office,” it said.

The statement said it would continue with the work it began with dedication and fortitude to ensure a successful tenure of office for the president in the next four years and beyond.

“The better Ghana agenda will continue to manifest in all spheres of Ghanaian life and to be felt by all citizens regardless of political, gender or ethnic backgrounds.

“As affirmation and testament to Ghana’s enviable position in Africa, the inauguration witnessed the presence of numerous heads of states and governments from the continent,” it said.

The statement said the illustrious leaders of Africa that were present at the inauguration would inspire the youth of Ghana to be patriotic citizens and dedicated advocates of political inclusion and tolerance.
