The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has cautioned that Ghana could face constitutional uncertainty and political instability if the Supreme Court adopts what he described as a "strange" interpretation of Article 66 of the 1992 Constitution on presidential term limits.
"In fact, any application before the Supreme Court for a certain twisted, a certain unwholesome, a certain unhealthy interpretation on Article 66 is sponsored.
He maintained that the Constitution clearly defines both the length of a presidential term and the maximum number of times an individual may be elected.
This argument of continuous terms, consecutive terms, for me, is weird and is an absurdity," he argued.
He contended that such a reading of the Constitution would undermine the intent of presidential term limits and weaken Ghana's democratic framework.
