CRC recommendations: Christian Council rejects proposed five-year presidential term

“The church believes that substantial national development would occur within a four-year term if an elected government focuses on policy continuity but not increasing the four years to five years.

The Christian Council of Ghana has rejected the proposal to extend the presidential term from four to five years, arguing that four years is sufficient for an elected government to implement its programme.” The Christian Council also supports the broader objective of moving Ghana from an electoral democracy towards a developmental democracy, where constitutional governance is linked to justice, quality public services, sustainable development, social inclusion and meaningful citizen participation.
