President or Acting President
Is Mahama President of Ghana? or is he still Vice President merely peforming presidential powers & duties as Acting President? GoodDay (talk) 22:18, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

In 'sub-section 59-6' under the section 'Executive', of the Ghana Constitution. It says the Vice President becomes President, whenever his/her predecessor dies, resignes, is removed from office. The new President serves the rest of his/her predecessor's term. GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 December 2016
Please edit "John Dramani Mahama is the outgoing president ..." to "John Dramani Mahama is the current president ... "

It is not clear what "outgoing" means and the fact remains that he will remain president till noon on January 7th 2016. But till then he is president and there is only one kind of president that he can be. Adams.k (talk) 03:09, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Possible BLP / Neutrality violations commented out
I have commented out the following from the lede as it seems to be based on opinion and may not be entirely factual. Others can review and reverse this if they find otherwise.


 * He is believed to be the most corrupt and incompetent leader in the history of Africa. Also known as "dead goat Mahama", he never took any action against any act of corruption that were brought against his presidency. He and his family are believed to be worth about $5.9 billion from looting public coffers and corruption
