Veteran journalist and political commentator Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
has raised sharp concerns over what he describes as glaring constitutional ambiguities in Ghana's presidential succession process, particularly regarding the role of the Chief Justice in the absence of the President and Vice President.
Speaking on Metro TV monitored by MyNewsGH, Pratt said he had thoroughly examined the 1992 Constitution and found no provision empowering the Chief Justice to act as President under any circumstances. "Nowhere in the Constitution is it stated that the Chief Justice can act in the absence of the President," he asserted. "I've gone through it.
I've seen the letter in the spirit, but it simply doesn't exist." Pratt's comments appear to question recent interpretations of constitutional succession, where the Chief Justice's name has been floated in scenarios involving presidential absence.
