Mahama’s UN address to mark 25th by a Ghanaian president
President John Dramani Mahama’s scheduled address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, 24 September 2026, will be the 25th General Debate address by a Ghanaian president, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
President John Dramani Mahama is set to deliver the 25th address to the United Nations General Assembly during his tenure as Ghana's leader, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This marks a significant milestone, as Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was the first to address the Assembly on 23 September 1960, and Mahama's address will be 66 years later.
The Ministry's records show that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has led with eight addresses between 2017 and 2024, followed by the late Jerry John Rawlings who spoke at the Assembly in 1998.
