In recent months, the Ghanaian political space has been filled with rumours about a possible attempt by President John Dramani Mahama to seek a third term in office.

These rumours, though unconfirmed, have stimulated conversations across the country, especially as President Mahama's current administration continues to enjoy widespread approval.

For many Ghanaians, the very idea of a third-term bid raises serious concerns about the future of democracy in the country and the legacy of a man who is widely regarded as one of the most decent political figures of the Fourth Republic.

President Mahama, who returned to power after the 2024 general elections, has in the last four to five months won the admiration of many for what appears to be a stabilising leadership.
