Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh, Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and Chairperson of the 2025 Constitution Review Committee, has called for Ghana's ongoing constitutional review process to be conducted free from partisan political interests.
According to Prof. Prempeh, constitutional reforms must focus on addressing the long-term needs of the country and improving governance, rather than responding to the interests of any particular political party or administration.
He emphasised that building public confidence in the review process would require transparency, inclusiveness and a commitment to placing the national interest above political expediency.
"One will expect that we do not take into our constitution or make our constitution revision process the kind of habit that we have gotten used to in our everyday politics.
The Constitution Review Committee was established to examine Ghana's 1992 Constitution and recommend reforms to strengthen the country's democratic institutions, governance framework, and constitutional order.
