President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who also serves as the Chairperson of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Ghana's President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, on his victory in the December 7, 2024, General Elections.
In a statement issued yesterday, President Mnangagwa lauded Mahama's emphatic comeback as a testament to the trust and confidence the people of Ghana have in his leadership abilities.
"On behalf of the Government and people of Zimbabwe and, indeed, on my behalf, I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to you, Your Excellency, following your emphatic victory in the December 7, 2024, General Elections," said President Mnangagwa.
"Your historic victory, marked by your phenomenal comeback, is an affirmation of the trust bestowed upon you by the people of Ghana, who are demonstrating their confidence in your visionary leadership of advancing Ghana's socio-economic transformation."
President Mnangagwa reaffirmed Zimbabwe's commitment to bolstering its bilateral relations with Ghana under Mahama's leadership.
"I wish to reaffirm my commitment to work closely with you, Your Excellency, to further strengthen and deepen the strong bonds of friendship and solidarity between our two countries and peoples," he said.
He also expressed optimism about collaborating with the Ghanaian leader on various platforms, including continental and international issues.
"I further look forward to our cooperation and collaboration at the bilateral, continental, and multilateral fora, on issues of mutual interest and concern."
President Mnangagwa concluded his message by wishing Mahama good health and success in steering Ghana toward prosperity during his term.
"I take this opportunity to wish you, Your Excellency, good health and great success in leading your great country to prosperity," he said.
Ghana's Electoral Commission officially declared Mahama the winner on Sunday, following his main opponent, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, conceding defeat. Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) emerged victorious after a highly contested election.
Mahama, who previously served as president from 2012 to 2017, achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first leader in Ghana's democratic era to reclaim the presidency after losing it. His campaign focused on resetting the country's trajectory, with an emphasis on appealing to young voters and addressing socio-economic challenges.
The victory underscores Mahama's enduring appeal and sets the stage for his leadership to drive Ghana's development agenda forward.
