On a historic day for Ghana s political governance when the Speaker of Parliament was the elected choice of the opposition party, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, took their oaths of office for a second term in the confined space of Parliament House in Accra yesterday.
The event was without the drawn-out and elaborate fanfare that had characterised the previous seven swearing-ins of Presidents-elect.
The all-important event was also without the public participation of usually overjoyed grass-roots party faithful.
For many who saw the swearing-in of the President as a public event full of merrymaking, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as the desire of the leadership of Parliament to make it strictly a business for the Legislature, posed some restrictions.
