President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday appealed to all political actors to use the death of President John Evans Atta Mills to effectively reshape Ghanaian politics and alter its tone forever.

“I believe there is space in the political arena to compete for political leadership in an atmosphere of decency and dignity, it is said politics is a dirty game. I daresay, it is us politicians who make it so,” he said.

President Mahama made the appeal in a 15-minute maiden broadcast to the nation after his assumption to the highest position of the land on July 24 following the death of President Mills.
