A striking contrast has unfolded in Parliament Thursday as Members of Parliament (MPs) from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) arrived dressed in black clothes, while their counterparts from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) donned all-white attires.
This symbolic display coincides with President John Dramani Mahama's delivery of his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) since assuming office for a second term.
The address, highly anticipated by Ghanaians, is expected to outline Mahama's ambitious "Resetting Ghana" agenda, which aims to tackle economic challenges, create jobs, and restore stability.
With the country facing rising inflation, high unemployment, and economic distress, citizens and key stakeholders, including business leaders and civil society groups, are keenly awaiting concrete solutions from the president.
