President Mahama reflects on the birth of Kwahu Business Forum at 2026 event
President John Dramani Mahama reflected on the birth of the Kwahu Business Forum at the 2026 event on Saturday, April 4, sharing that "It was conceived in the back of a Toyota Land Cruiser, which myself and my younger brother Julius always occupied the back seat when I went on campaigns."
The idea for the forum came about during his 2023 campaign for the 2024 presidential election, stemming from conversations with his younger brother Julius Debrah. These discussions, held while traveling across Ghana, focused on enhancing Ghana's tourism sector and supporting business communities, particularly in the Eastern Region. The topic of Kwahu Easter celebrations came up, and they discussed "how we can add a business angle to it."
The first Kwahu Business Forum was held in 2024, even though President Mahama and his team "were still in opposition." The inaugural forum attracted businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders and was considered "an immediate success." The forum was designed to provide a platform for networking and discussions on improving business management, expanding markets, and addressing challenges faced by entrepreneurs.
