The statement from the Presidency said accompanying the President to Ouagadougou were Former President Jerry John Rawlings and his wife, General Secretary of the NDC, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia and officials of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Nearly two dozen soldiers were arrested a day before the ceremony with reports indicating that they plotting to free the jailed leader of the coup in September, Gen Gilbert Diendere.

The arrests come in the wake of the short-lived coup in September and appear to show continued tension between the government and supporters of veteran President Blaise Compaore who was overthrown in October 2014.

The group had also planned to free other coup plotters, and re-establish the elite presidential guard which Gen Diendere headed, he added. Its economy has slowed due to lower global commodity prices and reduced investment during the democratic transition that began after Compaore fell.

The coup failed, the presidential guard was disbanded, and Diendere was arrested and charged with murder, threatening state security and crimes against humanity.
