•John Mahama: The veteran taking a second shot at Ghana's presidency
83% Informative
John Dramani Mahama has been Ghana 's president once before - and now he is back for another punt at the top job.
The 65-year-old led Ghana from 2012 to 2017 and is one of the West African country's most experienced politicians.
He has served at all levels of office, as an MP, deputy minister, minister, vice-president and president.
His father, a government minister, was jailed during a military coup and later went into exile.
Mahama was nicknamed " Mr Dumsor " in reference to the blackouts - "dum" means off and "sor" means on in the local Twi language.
Under his watch, Ghanaians also experienced an ailing economy and widespread power cuts.
His term was also blighted by corruption scandals but there was no evidence he was involved in any corrupt activities.
