Former President John Dramani Mahama is among the many dignitaries at the 8th State of the Nation Address of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The event is being held in parliament today, Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
A video shared by Accra-based TV3 showed the arrival of Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), at parliament.
The former president arrived at the forecourt of the Parliament of Ghana in a black Genesis G70.
After alighting from the car, he was saluted by the security detail stationed at the legislature. He turned to face the service personnel and bowed to them before walking majestically to the house.
Mahama could be seen being led by one of the protocol officers at parliament to the floor of the house.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will deliver his 8th State of the Nation Address (SONA) in parliament today, Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
