“Congratulations to my friend President-elect John Mahama on your election victory. Rwanda and Ghana share a strong commitment to progress, and we look forward to working together to strengthen our bilateral ties and advance the vision of a prosperous Africa,” President Kagame posted on X.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Electoral Commission officially announced on December 9, 2024, that Mahama secured 56.55% of the vote, while his opponent, Mahamudu Bawumia, the candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and current Vice President, garnered 41.6%.<\/p>\n

Prior to the official results, Bawumia graciously conceded defeat, offering his congratulations to Mahama for his win.<\/p>\n

Mahama, who served as Ghana\u2019s Vice President from 2009 to 2012 and President from 2012 to 2017, is set to assume office on January 7, 2025. <\/p>\n

He will replace outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo, who has held office since 2017.<\/p>\n

The relationship between Rwanda and Ghana is marked by strong cooperation across various sectors, including air transport, defense and security, private sector partnerships, tourism, culture, finance, and trade. <\/p>\n

Rwanda opened its embassy in Ghana in 2020, while Ghana reciprocated by opening its embassy in Rwanda in 2024.<\/p>\n
