Why Mahama created National Day of Prayer

On June 25, Parliament passed the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which returned July 1’s Republic Day to statutory holiday status. The holiday was to fulfil his promise to have a multi-faith day of prayer if he became president.

President John Dramani Mahama said the purpose of the day is to urge Ghanaians to reflect and thank God for His goodness and mercies toward the nation.

This year's edition was themed "Reset, Reflect, and Renew for National Prosperity."

Traditionalists fight for inclusion on Prayer Day

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the Africa Development Council had challenged the exclusion of Ghana’s traditional religions from the maiden National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.

The council raised several concerns about the National Prayer Day, urging President John Dramani Mahama to reconsider the new holiday's focus on Islam and Christianity.

The council reiterated that Ghana is home to diverse religions beyond Christianity and Islam, and the government must therefore recognise other traditionalists.
