Former First Lady Ernestina Naadu Mills on Saturday paid a visit to President John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina, at their home in Accra, to congratulate them on their historic return to the presidency.
Mrs Mills, who was received by the First Family, congratulated them for the well-deserved victory in the December 2024 elections.
The former First Lady has maintained a low public profile since the demise of her husband, President Prof John Evans Atta Mills, on July 24, 2012.
Her visit to the first family at the weekend was one of her rare public engagements over the past 12 years.
It would be recalled that during the tenure of President Mills, from January 7, 2009 to July 24, 2012, President Mahama was then the Vice President.
Following President Mills’ demise on July 24, 2012, Veep Mahama was constitutionally sworn-in as the president.
He then won the December 7, 2012 Presidential Election and was inaugurated for a four-year term of office on January 7, 2013.
He lost the December 7, 2016 general election to then candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and handed over power on January 7, 2017.
After eight years in opposition, President Mahama won the December 7, 2024 general election, with a decisive victory, and was inaugurated for a second term in office on January 7, 2025.
