Speaker
His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is the 5th President of Ghana’s 4th Republic and was sworn into office for a second term on January 7, 2021.
As a lawyer, he undertook many important constitutional cases which protected the independence of the judiciary, the right of the citizen to demonstrate without a police permit, and the right of equal access of all political parties to the State-owned media.
President Akufo-Addo has held numerous positions in Ghana. He was a three term Member of Parliament (1997-2008). He also served as Attorney General and Minister for Justice (2001-2003) and as Minister for Foreign Affairs (2003-2007), both under the government of the former President of the Republic of Ghana, HE John Agyekum Kufuor.
