John Atta Mills, Ghana’s president, passed away a few hours after being taken ill, as stated by the president’s office and officials. Mills, 68, died on Tuesday in the capital Accra and was succeeded by Vice-President John Dramani Mahama, who took the presidential oath hours after the death was announced. The swift adherence to Ghana’s constitution on succession underlines the country’s reputation as one of the most mature democracies in the region, according to commentators.
