From Rawlings to Akufo-Addo: Ghanaians choose their favourite President in the 4h Republic

The country has enjoyed a stable democratic atmosphere since 1992 when the Fourth Republic was birthed.

With Jerry John Rawlings stepping down from military rule and subjecting himself to the electoral process, it marked a new dawn for Ghanaian politics.

Since Rawlings’ eight-year tenure from 1992 to 2000 came to an end, Ghana has had four other Heads of State.

John Agyekum Kufour ruled from 2000 to 2008, before being succeeded by Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills.

Although Atta-Mills could not complete his first term, following his unfortunate demise, John Mahama stepped in to continue his legacy.

Mahama subsequently served his own full four-year term from 2012 to 2016, before losing out to Akufo-Addo during the last general elections.

With another election coming up, Pulse Ghana put up a post asking Ghanaians to name their favourite President in the Fourth Republic.

Meanwhile, Ishmael Nkrumah also succinctly wrote: “Nana Addo is good but Ex-Pres. Kuffour was best.”
