She recognised that the “hard-fought campaign and that the margin of victory was impressive.”

She also mentioned that she looks forward to even better ties between the United Kingdom and Ghana.

“I look forward to continuing our excellent co-operation on defence, drugs, crime and national security, and to working together on challenges such as tackling corruption”.

“Alongside our ongoing support to Ghana in areas such as governance, poverty reduction, education and health, I hope that we can look to deepen our economic co-operation,” Prime Minister May added.
