Amissah-Arthur clears desk for Bawumia

Ahead of Nana Akufo-Addo’s swearing in on Saturday, January 7, President John Mahama has cleared his office of all belongings to pave way for the new administration.

The Vice-President, Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, and other high- ranking officials have also cleared their desks as their tenure of office end the night of January 6, 2017.

The Flagstaff House is getting ready to receive the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as some minor renovation and beautification works are currently ongoing inside and outside the Flagstaff House.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who won last month’s presidential election with over 5 million votes will occupy his predecessor’s desk at the Flagstaff House (Jubilee House) from January 7, 2017.

It is, however, unclear whether the name of Africa’s 5th most beautiful presidential palace will change after January 7 since the new president had previously raised reservations with its name.
Nana Addo had always preferred to call the presidential palace the name “Jubilee House” instead of the “Flagstaff House”.
