President Kufuor In World's 100 Most Influential List Website
President John Agyekum Kufuor is named among the world’s 100 most influential people. In an ongoing poll being conducted by Time magazine in partnership with media group, CNN, 69-year-old President Kufuor appears alongside George Bush, Vladimir Putin, Al Gore, Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, Bill Gates, Hilary Clinton and music icon Madonna. Other famous names include Nelson Mandela, Jon Stewart, Roger Federer, Oprah Winfrey, David Beckham and Tiger Woods as well as Will Smith. President Kufuor’s supporters quotes his ‘having effected the first bloodless power transfer in Ghana since independence’ and having ‘the political capital to call Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe "embarrassing"’ as well as his influence on Kenya's political unrest as his strong points. For those who doubt his influence, they say for every Kufuor in Africa, it seems there are six Mugabes, while Ghana's peace and relative prosperity don't seem to be having a steady domino effect on its neighbors.
