Ghana’s president-elect, John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to intensify prayers and fasting as the country prepares to tackle significant challenges following the December 7 elections.
Speaking during an end-of-year sermon at an Assemblies of God Church in Tamale on December 31, Mr. Mahama emphasised the need for divine intervention and collective effort to steer the nation forward.
Reflecting on the journey so far, Mr. Mahama described the campaign and election period as the easier phase of the process, noting that the path ahead demands greater commitment and resilience.

“The easy part is over—the campaign and the elections were the easier phases. Now the real work begins, so if we prayed and fasted for a successful election, now is the time to pray and fast even more so that God will elevate our nation and make it the ‘Black Star’ of Africa again,” he stated.
He urged citizens to demonstrate their religious faith and rally behind efforts to rebuild and strengthen the nation.
Acknowledging the enormity of the challenges ahead, the president-elect reiterated his call for national unity and collective governance.
He noted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC), despite its electoral victory, cannot address Ghana’s issues alone.
“We need collaboration to ensure that the country is governed in the right direction,” he said, emphasising the importance of working with stakeholders from all political backgrounds and sectors of society.
John Mahama secured a decisive win in the December 7 elections, granting him a return to the presidency after a four-year hiatus.
