Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Dr Dominic Ayine announced the decision on Wednesday while presenting the government’s White Paper on the Constitutional Review Committee’s recommendations. Under the current four-year cycle, the early months of every administration are consumed by transition matters, and the final year is largely consumed by elections,” he said. AdvertisementUnder Ghana’s current 1992 Constitution, presidential candidates must be at least 40 years old. And of course, the details of this will be fashioned out by the Constitutional Review,” Ayine said. The committee argued that Ghana’s four-year term fell below regional and global norms and left governments too little time to deliver on their mandates.
