The government has accepted a proposal to introduce a citizen-initiative mechanism that would allow Ghanaians to propose amendments to the Constitution, subject to meeting specified support requirements. The proposed reform would create a formal process through which citizens could initiate constitutional amendments after obtaining the backing of registered voters across the country. "Citizens will be able to propose amendments to the Constitution upon securing the support of registered voters, subject to minimum regional representation and gender-balance requirements." The Constitution Review Committee had recommended that the initiative could be triggered with the support of five per cent of registered voters. However, the government is proposing to double that threshold to ten per cent, arguing that constitutional amendments initiated by citizens should demonstrate broad national backing.
