John Mahama sworn in after Ghana President dies

Ghana's Vice president John Mahama became President hours after John Atta Mills' death on Tuesday.

Mills died 3 days after his 68th birthday and his cause of death is still unknown.

"The Ghanaian people were happy with this president and his program for the development of the country," said Taxi Driver Nour Ousmane Aladji.

Mills was known for the democratic transformation in Ghana and his success in turning the country into a world oil exporter.

Mahama's quick inauguration proves how far Ghana has come as a country and the impact Mills had as President.

His successor, Mahama, told media, "We are deeply distraught, devastated as a country."
