In a significant shift in Ghana's security leadership, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohunu as the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP), replacing Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
The appointment, announced on 13 March 2025, marks a pivotal moment in Ghana's law enforcement landscape as the Mahama administration implements changes to key security institutions.
This executive decision, made in accordance with Articles 91 and 202 of the 1992 Constitution and following consultation with the Council of State, brings to the helm of Ghana's police service a veteran officer with four decades of distinguished service.
The appointment comes at a crucial time when the Ghana Police Service is undergoing significant reforms, and Yohunu's extensive experience positions him as a strategic choice to lead these transformation efforts.
