Kwakye Ofosu dismisses Mahama third-term debate as NPP propaganda
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a Government Spokesperson, dismissed the debate over President John Dramani Mahama's possible third-term bid as political propaganda by the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Speaking on Channel One TV's Face to Face, he stated, "What happened was that in the heat of the 2024 elections, the NPP somehow saw that all was lost. So they came up with this very desperate bit of propaganda about the third term. But it was never really an issue." He asserted there has never been uncertainty about Ghana's constitutional provisions on presidential term limits or President Mahama's position.
Kwakye Ofosu stressed that President Mahama has consistently stated he will not seek a third term, reiterating his position on both local and international platforms, including in Singapore and about three weeks prior to the interview. He acknowledged that the Supreme Court's decision in an ongoing case seeking clarity on presidential term limits could provide further interpretation of relevant constitutional provisions, but maintained the government's understanding is that the law is already clear.
