John Atta Mills has been sworn in as Ghana's new president following a cliff-hanger election victory. Mr Atta Mills, 64, took his oath of allegiance in front of thousands of people in Independence Square for the inauguration in the capital, Accra. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate beat the ruling party's Nana Akufo-Addo in a hotly contested poll by a margin of less than 0.5% of

Ghana's new president, John Atta Mills, said on Wednesday he will promote business and economic growth and pursue national reconciliation after a close and divisive election. Following are key quotes from Mills's speech on taking office after elections in which his center-left National Democratic Congress (NDC) wrested power from the right-of-center New Patriotic Party (NNP) of outgoing President

The National Democratic Congress has noted the numerous requests for information about its Manifesto, which charts the path for building a better Ghana. In view of the fact that we have not as yet officially launched our Manifesto we will not be in a position to release the full document to the media and general public for their attention and information, however we have decided to release a

Opposition candidate John Evans Atta Mills has narrowly won Ghana's presidential election, the Ghana Electoral Commission said on its Web site. John Atta Mills, left, of the opposition NDC has defeated Nana Akufo-Addo, right, of the ruling NPP in the runoff.The chairman of the Ghana Electoral Commission, Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, said Mills had garnered about 4,521,032 votes, or about 50.2 percent of

The wind of change that blew away the NDC from office in 2000 has returned to Ghana’s political landscape with a special vengeance with the NPP as its target, this time. Despite the last-ditch attempts to cling to the last straw, there is no gainsaying the obvious that the NPP will eventually be blown away from the corridors of power by the time the dust settles. And when that feat is achieved,

This is a blog that has been created to foster discussion among NDC members the world over especially the youth. We are the future of the NDC and we need to school ourselves, learn from our elders and be prepared to take the mantle from them as well as working towards change, dynamism, proactivity, probity and accoutability in the party as well as in the lives and total 'being' of the common

Today we are looking at two issues petinent to multi party democracy in Ghana, issues which are intricately related and yet different: Party funding and the debate around a fund raising dinner which will require the presence of the professor less than six months to the day of our reckoning, the day we are poised to wrestle power from the aging, grumpy and deceitful elephant.Political party

We are all too familiar with the biblical reference that “God helps those who help themselves”. And as a nation and a people, I wonder if we know what that means or whether in our hearts as Ghanaians we believe or are convinced that we are helping ourselves, hence warranting God omnipotent’s blessings and favour (help)?Ghana is one of the places in the world where believe in a higher being is

Good people, I thought to bring to your attention the UNDP human development Report on Ghana. “TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETY” which is the theme for this year’s National HumanDevelopment Report, captures not only the vision of this government, but also the objectives and targets of the UN’sMillennium Development Goals (MDGs). It recognises also the agenda of the New Partnership for Africa’

Children of our fathers, I highlight today, the words and thoughts of one of the stalwarts of British colonial rule; one Lord Lugard who is credited as the founder of modern day Nigeria. These thoughts are the crust of a speech he gave in 1926.Undoubtedly, these thoughts and mindset are the yardstick on which our continent was partitioned and exploited and these are largely the guiding principles

London, United Kingdom— The shameless attacks of the Danquah Institute and it’s Executive Director, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on the recent opinion polls conducted by the Policy & Strategy Associates, Inc. was not only an attack on democracy but also smacks of gross intolerance for serious research and academic debate.

Ghana is larger than all of us, and the NDC’s victory is the victory of ordinary and truthful Ghanaians guided by the proven history and performance of a Social Democratic Party and Government. The evolution of contemporary viable democracy in Ghana was based on struggles by ordinary people for political space and voice, initially on a non-partisan basis under the PNDC, and subsequently, in a

For eight years between 1992 and 2000, the NDC did its utmost best to reconstruct the nation’s foundation and build on such a foundation. The opportunity beckons once again for the NDC to seize the moment that a certain victory in this year’s election will bring to our great party to put Ghana back on its reconstructive path and work towards building a Better Ghana.“A Better Ghana” because the
