Ghana has maintained a stable democratic system since the Fourth Republic began on January 7, 1993. This period followed several instances of military rule after the country gained independence.
Five different individuals have served as president during this democratic era. These leaders have guided the nation through presidential administrations.
John Dramani Mahama became president after the 2024 general election. This marked another change in leadership within the republic.
There is currently discussion about the nature of Ghana's democracy. Some are asking if wealth is playing too large a role in the nation's political processes.
This concern suggests a shift in how democracy operates. This discussion impacts public perception of the country's governance.
