Top Story: Is Mahama Eyeing a Third Term? Fresh Claims Spark Constitutional Debate

Top Story with Kenneth Gyasi on Joy 99.7 FM examines the growing controversy over claims that President John Dramani Mahama could seek a third term in office.

A fresh constitutional debate has emerged following three petitions before the Supreme Court seeking an interpretation of Article 66(2) of the 1992 Constitution, which sets limits on presidential terms. While government denies any agenda to extend President Mahama's stay in office, some legal and political observers argue that recent developments raise important constitutional questions.

Law lecturer Prof. Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua says certain government actions are fueling speculation about a possible third-term bid, while Victor Adawudu, a member of the NDC legal team, claims some elements within the governing party are pushing such an agenda. Meanwhile, Global InfoAnalytics Executive Director Mussa Dankwah believes any attempt to pursue a third term could divide the NDC, and governance expert Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah is urging the Supreme Court to resolve the matter swiftly.

We also hear from Ken Kuranchie, whose Supreme Court suit seeks a constitutional interpretation of Article 66(2). He insists the case is about clarifying the law—not paving the way for a third presidential term.

Tonight, we ask:

Are the concerns about a third-term agenda justified? What do the petitions before the Supreme Court seek to achieve? Could the constitutional interpretation reshape Ghana's presidential term limits?

Join us for in-depth analysis and perspectives on one of Ghana's most consequential constitutional debates.
