Former presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Kufuor and John Mahama joined President Nana Alufo-Addo and Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia at the Independence Square on Sunday, 7 January to mark the 25th anniversary of the fourth republic.
The three former presidents read scriptures from the bible in turns at the ceremony.
Mr Rawlings read first followed Mr Kufuor and Mr Mahama in that order.
Mr Rawlings was the first president of the fourth republic which began on 7 January 1993 after the 1992 elections.
After two terms, he was succeeded by Mr Kufuor who in turn was succeeded by Prof John Evans Atta Mills after also serving two terms. Prof Mills, however, died before the end of his first term, thus, paving the way for then-Vice-President Mahama to inherit the presidency. Mr Mahama won elections in 2012 and lost to Nana Akufo-Addo in 2016 making him the first-ever living Ghanaian president to have served just a term.
