History
On July 24, 2012, President J. Atta Mills passed away unexpectedly. According to the constitution, Vice President J. D. Mahama took office. In the presidential elections scheduled for December 7, 2012, Mahama prevailed with around 50.7% of the votes against the NPP candidate N. Akufo-Addo, who received around 47.7% of the votes. The NPP raised allegations of electoral fraud, but failed with an election challenge before the Supreme Court. The NDC was also able to win the parliamentary elections that were held at the same time. J. D. Mahama was sworn in on January 7, 2013 in the presidency. In terms of foreign policy continuity, his government relied on cooperative cooperation with neighboring states and regional mediation of conflicts. In 2014/15, J. D. Mahama chaired the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Internally, the government tried above all to improve the infrastructure. A sharp drop in economic growth, high unemployment and rising inflation rates have led to increasing dissatisfaction among the population since 2014. Presidential and parliamentary elections took place on December 7, 2016, the seventh democratic elections based on a multi-party system since 1992. This resulted in a change of power in favor of the opposition NPP. N. Akufo-Addo, who ran for the third time, won the presidential election with around 53.9% of the votes in the first round. Incumbent J. D. Mahama, who received around 44.4% of the vote, acknowledged his defeat. The NPP, which had campaigned for votes with an economically liberal program, also replaced the NDC as the strongest force in parliament. N. Akufo-Addo was sworn in on January 7, 2017 in the presidency.
In the following years, Nkrumah developed in Ghana a dictatorial system of government determined by a cult around his person, which he organized as a one-party system in 1964 under a new constitution (elevation of the CPP to a unified party). From 1961 he tried to realize socialist ideas (expansion of the state sector in the economy, economic planning based on the Soviet model), but left cocoa cultivation (especially in its function as a key area for foreign exchange procurement) in private hands. Private foreign investments should v. a. promote the industrialization of Ghana. In terms of foreign policy, he introduced an anti-Western, pan-African policy aimed at the formation of a union government for the whole of decolonized Africa; with this program remained Nkrumah isolated in the OAU founded in 1963. Several African governments, particularly those of neighboring Togo and Ivory Coast, accused Ghana of supporting revolutionary movements in their countries. Economic crises (including national debt, supply bottlenecks, unemployment) and the suspicion of leading officers and officials about an imminent transformation of society in the communist sense led to the overthrow of Nkrumah in a military coup in February 1966; the CPP was dissolved.
