Ghana’s president, John Mahama, will today join Muslims in the Kumasi Central Mosque in the Ashanti region for Monday's Eid Prayers.

This will mark the first time a sitting Ghanaian president is marking the important day on the Muslim calendar in the Ashanti region.

Vice President, Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur is however expected to join Muslims at the Black Star Square for the prayers in Accra.

Muslims in Ghana are joining their counterparts across the world to celebrate the Eid ul-Fitr or Eid, that marks the end of Ramadan (a holy month of fasting observed by Muslims).
