Ghana’s second chance: How President Mahama’s return offers historic opportunity for transformation
History rarely gives a nation a second chance with a leader who returns to office wiser, more experienced and determined to leave a lasting legacy. President John Dramani Mahama is one of those rare figures, not only in Ghana but across Africa. Few democratic leaders have travelled the path he has: from vice president to president, from defeated incumbent to opposition leader, and from former president back to the presidency through the ballot box. It is a journey that has exposed him to both the privileges of power and the humbling lessons of political defeat.
