Constitution has a genuine ambiguity – Ken Kuranchie opens fresh debate on Mahama’s third term eligibility

He said his action before the Supreme Court is not seeking to secure a third term for President John Mahama but is instead asking the court to clarify the constitutional position on presidential terms.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday, Mr Kuranchie explained that his legal challenge is based on his interpretation that Ghana’s presidency is consecutive and that eligibility resets when a person leaves office after serving one term.” According to him, the legal argument is that a person elected as president can serve two terms, and if that person leaves office after serving only one term, the eligibility requirement is reset.
