His main rival conceded defeat on Sunday
ACCRA - John Dramani Mahama, who is returning as Ghana's president eight years after losing power, achieved his political comeback on a promise to mend the West African country's economy.
Mahama defeated his main challenger, Akufo-Addo, in an election a few months later - the first in a series of votes that pitted the two against each other. In an interview with Reuters before the election, Mahama said he would seek to renegotiate terms of a $3 billion International Monetary Fund bailout secured last year to restructure the country's debt.
He was first elected to parliament in 1996 and served as communications minister from 1998 to 2001. Atta Mills appointed him vice president in 2009.
