Term limit debate is about Ghana’s democracy, not Mahama’s third term – Asiedu Nketia

"The underlying principle is about whether the nation should remove term limits or hold on to our constitutional term limits for presidents. The NDC chairman traced presidential term limits to the 1992 Constitution, explaining that the provision was introduced to guarantee peaceful transfers of power. "Previously, we didn't have presidential term limits. If there were no term limits, President Rawlings wouldn't have exited at the time he exited," he said. He questioned whether Ghana’s democracy has matured enough to operate without the protection provided by presidential term limits.
