Blind people run in marathons across the world but January 10 marks the first time that a marathon is being held exclusively for the blind. The main 16-km marathon from T Chowk to Liaqat Bagh Sports Complex on Rawalpindi is grabbing attention of the public.

“Afomi y3 Swalaba,” to wit, “I was born in Swalaba” is a Ga phrase President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has been using since he started campaigning for the presidency as far back as 2007.
Swalaba is a suburb within Accra Central which can now be safely described as an inner city and, therefore, the significance of the phrase is to give an indication that he is not far removed from the daily challenges of the ordinary Ghanaian.
And moreso, his place of birth underscores his multicultural and diverse background which has defined his political disposition and public life.

Political activism runs through his family as his father, Justice Edward Akufo-Addo, a Supreme Court Judge and later a ceremonial President, used his house as the headquarters of the country’s first political party, the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), after it was formed at Saltpond on August 4, 1947.
Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been re-elected.
Mrs Jean Mensa, Chairperson, Electoral Commission, declaring him as the winner of the presidential contest, said President Akufo-Addo polled 6,730,413 votes (51.6 per cent) to beat his main contender, main opposition National Democratic Congress’ flagbearer Mr John Dramani Mahama, who polled 6,214,889 votes(47.4 per cent).
He hinged his campaign message on change to create jobs, industrialize the economy, roll out free secondary education and modernise agriculture.
Over the past three years and 11 months, President Akufo-Addo has stayed true to his electoral promises by creating more than two million jobs in both the formal and informal sectors.
