PERSON OF THE YEAR 2025 | THE AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE
The African International Magazine names President John Dramani Mahama as its Person of the Year, recognizing a political comeback that has reshaped Ghana’s democratic story and reaffirmed the power of electoral resilience.
Mahama’s return to office in December 2024 was neither accidental nor sentimental. It was the result of endurance. After serving as President from 2013 to 2017, and following successive electoral defeats, he re-emerged with a disciplined campaign, a familiar national presence, and a message grounded in experience rather than grievance. His victory made history. He became the first Ghanaian leader democratically elected to a non-consecutive second term.
Born in Damongo in 1958, Mahama remains the only Ghanaian president to have served at every level of public office, from Member of Parliament to Deputy Minister, Cabinet Minister, Vice President, and President. His first administration was defined by large-scale infrastructure expansion across education, health, aviation, rail, energy, and digital systems, positioning Ghana for its lower-middle-income transition.
His political identity blends communication, history, and social insight............ https://www.tumblr.com/african-international-magazine/804434262594043904?source=sharettps://www.tumblr.com/african-international-magazine/804434262594043904?source=share
