The joyous atmosphere of Christmas at Jubilee House seems to be diminished as Ghana gets closer to the 2024 elections. In order to promote harmony and peace, the presidency traditionally organizes a number of holiday celebrations. However, these festivities have been clouded by political tensions and uncertainty surrounding the next elections. According to recent reports, a lot of Ghanaians are worried that the normal holiday spirit would be tempered by the possibility of riots and electoral disagreements. With both main political parties mobilizing their supporters, the atmosphere is tense and concerns about the stability of the country are raised.

These changes have caused the focus to change from joyous celebrations to urgent conversations about civic responsibilities and the political process. People are urging one another to actively participate in determining the nation's future as they become more engaged. Because of this, Jubilee House's festive decorations and activities are probably going to be modest, reflecting a more measured approach to Christmas given the current political situation, giving national harmony and peace precedence over customary celebrations.
