In a significant move following his inauguration on January 7, 2025, President John Mahama has announced his first batch of ministerial appointees, signaling the direction of his new administration. The list includes some familiar faces from his previous tenure, with seasoned leaders taking up critical roles in the government.
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ajumako Enyan Essiam and the Majority Leader, has been named the Finance Minister-designate. His appointment promises continuity in fiscal policy, as he has previously held the position of Deputy Finance Minister in Mahama's earlier government.
Additionally, the Yapei-Kusawgu MP, John Jinapor, is set to assume the role of Energy Minister-designate. With his extensive experience as Deputy Minister of Energy in the previous administration, his appointment underscores Mahama’s focus on strengthening Ghana's energy sector.
Lastly, Dr. Dominic Ayine, MP for Bolgatanga East, has been appointed as the Attorney General and Minister for Justice-designate. Having served as Deputy Minister for Justice in Mahama's prior administration, Ayine's legal expertise is expected to guide the administration through critical governance and judicial matters.
The appointments, confirmed by a statement from President Mahama's Acting Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, reflect the administration’s commitment to effective leadership and governance continuity. All three individuals have previously served as Deputy Ministers in various sectors during Mahama's earlier term, offering a blend of experience and stability to the new government.
As the Mahama administration begins its second term, these appointments suggest a strategic approach in reshaping and reinforcing key government sectors with trusted and capable hands.
