Accra, Ghana - 04 Jan, 2025 - The United States is set to send a high-level delegation to Ghana for the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama on January 7, 2025. The delegation, announced by President Joe Biden, will be led by Shalanda D. Young, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget.
The team includes prominent figures such as Virginia E. Palmer, the US Ambassador to Ghana, who has been instrumental in strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations. Also joining the delegation are Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles, and Frances Z.
