The Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have unanimously endorsed the election of the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, as the bloc’s candidate for the African Union (AU) chairmanship position in 2027.
It follows the resolution of the Ministerial Council, making President Mahama the sole West African candidate for AU Chairperson in 2027.
The endorsement took place over the weekend.
According to Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, this is a “decisive and overwhelming” support, clearing all hurdles and making President Mahama the AU Chairperson-in-waiting when the rotating AU leadership gets to West Africa’s turn in 2027.
President Mahama conveyed his deepest appreciation to his peers and assured that he will meet the legitimate high expectations of the continent.
