Former NDC MP rejects five-year presidential term proposal

Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central Inusah Fuseini has rejected a government-backed proposal to extend Ghana’s presidential term from four to five years, arguing that the country should prioritise improving government efficiency rather than lengthening tenures.

The government has accepted the five-year term proposal for both the presidency and Parliament, with the change intended to apply only to future officeholders.
