President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to unite beyond political differences and work together toward a shared national development agenda.
Delivering the 2026 State of the Nation Address in Parliament, President Mahama stressed that while unity is often visible during moments of cultural celebration, the country must demonstrate the same collective spirit in times of political disagreement.
“Unity in moments of cultural pride has proved easier than unity in moments of political disagreement. If we can mobilise that same collective resolve for our development agenda, we will see real progress,” he said.
President Mahama added that Ghana’s current development aspirations require a similar unity of purpose, urging citizens to reject misinformation and divisive narratives.
“Mr Speaker, our pursuit of national development today demands that same unity of purpose. We must reject misrepresentation and distortion that detract from our collective progress.
“We must guard our development as firmly as we guard our cultural identity. We must act as one people with one purpose,” he added.
