Ghana is preparing to usher in a new government, after John Mahama’s landslide victory in last week’s presidential election. The change comes at a crucial time. Ghana is experiencing its worst economic crisis in a generation, involving high inflation and a debt default. It will be an uphill task, but Mahama promises to bring Ghana the "reset" it needs. Ghana has been an example of relative political and economic stability in a volatile region with the fight against violent extremism, and military coups in countries like Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali. DW News Africa Eddy Micah, Jr asked the incoming president, in the light of insecurity and a number of military takeovers in West African countries. Is Ghana facing similar risk of instability?
