President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has extended his congratulations to Donald Trump on his election as the 47th President of the United States.
In his message on Wednesday, he expressed Ghana’s commitment to strengthening and deepening the bilateral relationship between the two nations, focusing on areas of mutual interest and cooperation.
President Akufo-Addo expressed optimism that under the leadership of President-elect Trump, the bond between Ghana and the United States would strengthen further.
“I am hopeful that, under your leadership, this bond will grow even stronger, paving the way for collaboration in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, as we did during your first mandate,” he wrote on his official Facebook page.
He added, “Together, we can continue to promote peace, prosperity, and the dignity of all peoples.”
At 78 years old, Donald Trump has made history as the oldest person ever elected to the office of President of the United States.
His victory was propelled by sweeping the pivotal Blue Wall states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to claim the White House.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris publicly conceded to Trump in a speech at Howard University in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, marking the official end of the race.
