Ghana swears in Akufo-Addo as President
The New Patriotic Party's leader and former human rights lawyer Nana Akufo-Addo was sworn in as Ghana's President on Saturday in capital Accra after he defeated incumbent Ghana President John Mahama. Akufo-Addo has vowed to put the nation "back on the path of progress and prosperity" after Ghana's economy was plagued with high public debt and inflation under Mahama's presidency.
