Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has officially been sworn in as the Vice President of Ghana, making history as the first woman to hold the position. The ceremony took place on January 7, 2025, at the iconic Independence Square in Accra, where Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo administered the oath of office.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who served as the running mate to President-elect John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general elections, assumes office following Mahama’s decisive victory over New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, which secured him a second term as president.

With her leadership, Ghana is poised to see significant advancements in areas such as gender equality, educational reform, and youth empowerment. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s tenure as Vice President is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the nation, bringing fresh perspectives and a commitment to inclusive growth.
