President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to reinstate Republic Day as a national holiday and introduce a new public holiday for Eid al-Fitr.

Speaking during his thank-you tour in the Western Region on Wednesday, February 5, he announced plans to amend the Public Holidays Act to restore July 1 as a national holiday, honoring Ghana’s transition to self-governance under its constitution.

This follows the 2019 amendment by former President Nana Akufo-Addo, which removed Republic Day from the list of public holidays.

Mahama also reiterated his commitment to the Muslim community by proposing an official public holiday for Eid al-Fitr.

Furthermore, he announced plans to establish a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on July 1, coinciding with Senior Citizens’ Day.

This day, he explained, would serve as a time for national reflection, gratitude, and seeking divine guidance for Ghana’s development.

“We will have an opportunity as a nation soon to pray and give thanks to the almighty God as enjoined by the holy book that says in all things Give thanks to the Almighty God. We will thank God for his blessing on our nation Ghana and I will soon announce a planning committee made up of religious leaders to plan the national day of prayer and thanksgiving”.

“I proposed that this national day of prayer and thanksgiving should be held on the first of July which is also our republic day and also marks Senior Citizen’s Day. Nananom, my brothers and sisters, we will soon present to parliament an amendment to the Public Holiday Act so that we can restore July 1 as a holiday”.

Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to delivering on his campaign promises to Ghanaians.

“I am here to reaffirm my commitment to honouring the trust and confidence you have imposed on me. We will deliver on our promises, and I am hopeful that you will see tangible life-changing development across the region soon” he added.
