Supreme Court cannot change Ghana’s presidential term limits - Kennedy Osei Nyarko

“Even though it’s the constitutional right of those who have taken the issue to the Supreme Court for interpretation, they are just embarking on an exercise in futility since the Supreme Court itself knows they don’t have the powers to amend or otherwise alter any part of Article 66 of the 1992 Constitution,” he added.

Member of Parliament for Akim Swedru, Kennedy Osei Nyarko Member of Parliament for Akim Swedru, Kennedy Osei Nyarko, has argued that the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Ghana’s presidential term limits will not make any former or sitting president eligible for an additional term in office.“The Supreme Court’s interpretation of the presidential term limits, whether in favor or against the proponents, will not automatically qualify any sitting president who is done with their term to be eligible for another term,” he wrote.
