69% of Ghanaians want presidential age-limit reduced - V. L. K. Djokoto
69% of registered voters in Ghana say that the current age-limit for Presidential aspirants should be reduced, according to a new poll conducted by Youth Activist, V. L. K. Djokoto via social media.
Today, 58.9% of Ghanaians, representing approximately 17,443,201 people, are aged between less than 1 and 39 according to the population and housing consensus. However, Chapter 8, Article 62 (b) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, states that a person shall not be qualified for election as the President of Ghana unless he/she has attained the age of forty years.
Should the presidential age-limit be reduced?
