The Government of Ghana has introduced a new National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, aimed at promoting national cohesion and unity.
President John Mahama has declared that July 1st, traditionally observed as Republic Day, will now also serve as a day for reflection, gratitude, and seeking divine guidance for the nation’s future.

According to the presidency, this new observance seeks to unite Ghanaians from all walks of life, encouraging them to come together in prayer and thanksgiving for the country’s progress and strength.
Chairman of the Planning Committee, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah emphasized that the event will take place in all 16 regions across Ghana, ensuring broad participation.
He also stressed that this celebration is a non-partisan event, with members of various political parties involved, urging all Ghanaians to put politics aside and join in peaceful reflection and celebration.
