The concept of dual citizenship has been a topic of debate in Ghana, with many Ghanaians in the diaspora calling for a change in the country's laws to allow them to participate in the country's governance.
The current law, specifically Article 94(2)(a) of the 1992 Constitution, bars Ghanaians with dual citizenship from becoming Members of Parliament (MPs).
This law has been in place for several years, and it has been a subject of controversy, with many arguing that it is discriminatory and limits the pool of potential candidates who could bring diverse perspectives and skills to the legislative body.
They noted that governance in the 21st century demands not only domestic experience but also a global outlook, which Ghanaians in the diaspora are uniquely positioned to provide.
