Election 2028 FAQs
When is Ghana’s next general election?
December 7, 2028 — presidential and parliamentary elections are held together every four years. The Electoral Commission announces voter registration windows well ahead; watch this hub.
Who are the candidates for Election 2028?
No party has nominated yet. Mahamudu Bawumia led the NPP in 2024 and dominates early talk, while the term-limited Mahama era means the NDC must pick a new flagbearer.
Can Mahama run again in 2028?
No. Ghana’s two-term limit ends his eligibility — his succession is the NDC’s defining question of this cycle.
