Ghana is extending the presidential term limit from four to five years essentially reviewing the 1992 constitution.

The term of Parliament ⁠will also be extended to match the new presidential term.

President Dramani Mahama’s government says the presidential term extension was designed to give administrations more time to govern.

The minimum age to run for president has been modified and will be lowered from the current 40 to 35 years.

The government is preparing two amendment bills by October to set up a national referendum in ⁠2027.

For the referendum to pass, at least 40% of registered voters must turn out, with at least 75% voting in favour. – Reuters.
