Former President Nana Akufo-Addo has made his way to the Jubilee House as Ghana marks its 68th Independence Day.

The scaled-down national celebration in Accra is being held specifically at the forecourt of the Presidency, instead of the usual Independence Square.

Following the swearing-in of President Mahama on January 7, this is the first time the former president has been sighted at a national event with the president in attendance.

Nana Akufo-Addo was not present when the president delivered the State of the Nation's Address. The reason for his absence is not yet public knowledge.

This year’s celebration theme, “Reflect, Review, Reset,” underscores the need for national introspection as Ghana navigates its current socio-economic landscape. The Presidency has also unveiled an official logo for the occasion, symbolizing the country’s resilience and aspirations for the future.

Some dignitaries present include Vice President Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, traditional rulers including Ga Mantse King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Members of Parliament among others.
