The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution recognising slavery as one of the gravest crimes against humanity.

This comes after Ghana’s President, John Mahama, proposed the resolution at the Assembly, seeking to declare the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.

Ghana’s President John Mahama has assured President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah that the ideals of total emancipation of the African continent remain central to Ghana’s vision, as articulated by the country’s founding leader, Kwame Nkrumah.

Ghana is set to receive several West African nationals who were deported from the U.S., President John Mahama has said.

This is after the U.S. authorities approached the Ghanaian government to accept third-party nationals as part of the Trump administration's clampdown on illegal immigration.

Ghana's President, John Mahama, has removed the country's Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo, from office with immediate effect.

Ghana's former ruling party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has directed its members to cease discussions that create disaffection within the party in the media.
