The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo Dankwa, has urged the Joint Transition Team to approach the task with collaboration and transparency.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Joint Transition Team on December 12, 2024, he stated that the peaceful transition of power is a hallmark of mature democracies. "Fortunately for us in Ghana, the foresight of the Fifth Parliament of the Fourth Republic has, with the adoption of the Presidential Transition Act, 2012 Act 845, established for us a robust framework for managing transitions, safeguarding the gains of our democratic journey. "Today, we reaffirm our collective resolve to adhere to the letter and spirit of this Act and ensure that this transition proceeds seamlessly, transparently, and with dignity," he noted.
The President further indicated that the role of the team goes beyond administrative, as it is deeply patriotic. "The Act makes provision, at the instigation of the Transition Team, for the formation of discretionary committees to address specific aspects of the transition process as it deems fit.
It is obvious that the role of this team is not simply administrative.
