Prez Mahama in Burkina Faso for inauguration of Roch Marc Kabore.

President John Dramani Mahama is leading a delegation to the inauguration of the President-elect of Burkina Faso, Roch Marc Christian Kabore.

Though originally planned for October, the elections had to be postponed to November because of a coup by the Presidential Guards. Another round of mediations by ECOWAS Leaders saw the restoration to office of the Transitional President Michel Kafando and his Prime Minister. Accompanying the President to Ouagadougou are Former President Jerry John Rawlings and his wife, General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia and officials of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the newly elected leader of the Peoples National Convention (PNC) Dr. Edward Mahama and officials of the PNC.  President Mahama will return home later today.
