President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to rise above partisan politics and embrace a shared national identity, stressing that the country’s progress depends on unity, mutual respect and collective nation-building.
In his New Year message to the nation on Thursday, January 1, 2026, President Mahama said Ghana’s development agenda must transcend political affiliation, noting that regardless of how citizens voted, they remain bound by a common destiny.
The President cautioned against reducing Ghana’s identity to party colours, reminding citizens that the freedoms they enjoy today were secured through the sacrifices of forebears who fought for independence and national sovereignty.

He urged Ghanaians to reject politics rooted in division, hostility and personal attacks, and instead embrace constructive engagement anchored on ideas and policy alternatives.
“We are one people with a shared destiny. Whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not, we are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us. There is no NPP Ghana. There is no CPP Ghana or NDC Ghana. There is only one Ghana, the one our forebears fought for and shed their blood to secure our freedom. Let us reject the politics of division and embrace the patriotism of nation-building. Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Let us compete in the marketplace of ideas without treating our opponents as enemies,” he said.
According to him, Ghana faces urgent challenges that demand unity of purpose, warning that excessive political conflict risks diverting attention and resources from national priorities and opportunities.
“The challenges we face are too urgent, and the opportunities before us are too precious for us to waste time and energy on needless conflict,” the President added.
