Kudus Research and Advocacy Center would like to look into the expected speech to be delivered by President elect John Dramani Mahama the 4th and 6th president of the fourth Republican constitution of Ghana, for lack of a better word we would like to anticipate project predict or even draft guide the hypothetical inaugural speech that’s expected to be delivered by John Mahama on the 7th of January 2025 with key highlights of content of the speech, its wording and possible to do activities
President elect John Dramani Mahama was elected on December 7, 2024 as declared by the Chair of the electoral commission of Ghana Jean A. Mensah that he and his party the National Democratic Congress NDC pulled about 56.55% to that of his main political opponent Mahamud Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party NPP 41.61% of the valid votes cast that made him constitutional the president elect of the republic of Ghana that’s not our interest our interest is to project anticipate or better put a hypothetical speech to be delivered in this important day of the democratic dispensation of Ghana who is seen as a shining example and the beacon of hope in democracy of Africa.
Kudus Research and Advocacy Center expect President elect John Maham inaugural speech to be brief precise simple worded devoid of extract of from old speech of pass presidential inaugural speech either in Ghana or anywhere else for lack of a better word or even plagiarized somebody inaugural speech as reports suggested that the January 7, 2017 inaugural speech by then president Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo was plagiarized from one of the former US presidents that contains phrases like “….be Citizens not spectators….”, president elect John Mahama team needs to invite a respected special guest of honor either within Africa or outside Africa who have similar interest and agenda to their next administration we suggest could invite Nigeria president and ECOWAS chair Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be his special guest or chairman who made respectful comments about Ghana’s democratic credential during the last ECOAS heads of state session in Nigeria, we also expect the president elect John D Mahama to wear something Ghanaian and Northern that represent his exact identity whom he is and where he originates
The Hypothetical Speech guide expected to be delivered by President elect John Dramani Mahama
The chief justice vice president Jane Nana Opoku Agyeman my beautiful wife and first lady of the Republic of Ghana (4th and 6th can play a satire saying the only woman to achieve such feet) Speaker of parliament elected members of parliament invited guest fellow Ghanaians it’s my greatest pleasure yet again to serve you as the 4th and 6th President of the fourth Republic of Ghana, a history in the making by all standard never our beloved country Ghana experience a democratically elected president who served two non-consecutive terms in office, a fit of which I can only thank you the Ghanaian people and God the almighty. But it should be noted that the protocols in President John Dramani Mahama January 7, 2013 should have been started with the Chief Justice for she is to administer the oath fellow by the Vice president before the speaker as official legal existing protocols dictates despite its been done before parliament under the leadership of the speaker its always the Chief Justice whose is the important state protocol in the hierarchy of state protocol when it comes to inaugurations even when the is a situation or unforeseen circumstance of which electoral disputes or violence emanant and the seating president refuses to accept the results as declared by the Electoral commission supported by the supreme court and other legal entities who matter most in terms of electoral issues of Ghana, the chief justice can administer the presidential oath even in any consulate or embassy of Ghana anywhere in the world, in take case the is no parliament not to talk of speaker but the chief Justice and other important stakeholders also even the in US after the oath of office taken by the president before congress mostly the Chief justice is always been addressed the key state protocol official when inaugural speeches are delivered as in the case of 44th President Obama 45th president Donald Trump, 46th President Joe Biden and even would be same for 47th President Donald J Trump, (despite this expert explanations ‘on hierarchy of state protocols we stand for corrections from legal brains and political science experts). Like this it should have we suggest

We recommend that too much past historic facts of Ghana leadership should not be indulged in the speech be minimize as we witness in the January 7,2013 speech, arrangement of hierarchy of state protocols corrected as explained but with consultations of head of state protocols and legal brains regarding the hierarchy it doesn’t matter the historical trend but the right things must be done as recommended by experts, simple worded very brief and can infuse Ghanaian language during the speech, key highlights of to do activities be made brief, and finally the speech should not last more than 30minutes but should be between 15minutes to 25minuutes at worse 30minutes, can also play a satirical moments during the speech just to spice up the happy historical moments of you and Ghana.
We are not perfect its simple our perspective as an Organization who is trying to anticipate or predict the possible nature content style and other related activities of the historic democratic day of our beloved country Ghana, and we are subjected to constructive critics and corrections for its noble in nature as such never happened of these nature by any Organization outlet or entity as we set the pace of election and its related matters regarding an insight predictions and analyses same way it’s this too and full take responsibility of any sought.
