A United States-based Ghanaian Professor, Kwaku Asare is advocating constitutional and structural reforms to be undertaken by the incoming 9th Parliament which will have the National Democratic Congress (NDC) forming an overwhelming Majority.
He says key priorities should include local government reform, legal education overhaul, judicial reform, a comprehensive code of conduct for public officials, financial management reform, campaign finance regulation, and anti-corruption measures.
Prof Asare argued that the way and manner voters cast their ballot in the 2024 elections in favour of the NDC in both the presidential and parliamentary sends a strong message that the 9th Parliament, which will come into force on January 7, 2025, to implement meaningful structural reforms.
In a post on his Facebook page, Prof Asare said "Four years ago, voters opted for a split parliament; today, they have decisively shifted to a supermajority.
