Akufo-Addo’s Final State of the Nation Address Scheduled for January 3

Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will deliver his final State of the Nation Address on January 3, 2025, as his tenure comes to a close.

The address, which will take place in Parliament at 10 AM, will mark the end of his two terms in office.

Akufo-Addo’s speech is expected to reflect on the achievements of his administration, the challenges faced, and the legacy he leaves behind.

His address will also set the tone for the upcoming transition as Ghana prepares for new leadership.

The President’s tenure will officially end with the dissolution of the 8th Parliament on January 6, 2025, paving the way for the inauguration of the 9th Parliament.

As his term nears its end, Akufo-Addo has been vocal about the importance of upholding democratic processes and maintaining stability within the nation.

In a recent statement, he emphasized that no sitting president can impose a candidate on their party, underlining the significance of democratic choice in selecting future leadership.

The incoming Parliament will begin its session shortly after the 8th Parliament’s dissolution.

On the agenda will be the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speakers, key positions that will help shape the direction of the next parliamentary session.

These elections are expected to be crucial in setting the tone for the next phase of governance in Ghana.

As the nation prepares for this transition, all eyes will be on President Akufo-Addo’s final address.

The President’s reflections and the subsequent events will undoubtedly be a significant moment in Ghana’s political history as the country looks toward a new chapter in leadership.
