John Mahama sworn in as Ghana’s new president

John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as Ghana’s new president and Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces on Tuesday, hours after John Atta Mills, the country’s leader, unexpectedly died at a hospital in the capital, Accra.
Chief Justice Theodora Georgina Wood swore in Mahama, who will complete Mills’ term that was due to expire after the elections in December.
