Mahama has spoken - NDC's James Agbey urges supporters to drop third-term campaign
James Agbey of the NDC has called on supporters of President John Mahama to immediately end public discussions about a possible third presidential term. He insists the President has made his position clear, stating, "The people of Ghana gave me one additional term. My job is to work and deliver on that trust, not to look for a third term. The matter is settled." Agbey argued that recent calls for President Mahama to remain in office beyond the constitutional two-term limit are misplaced and driven by narrow personal interests.
According to Agbey, attempts to justify a third-term agenda through constitutional arguments have sparked widespread concern among political observers, legal scholars, and academics, with critics describing the conversation as a dangerous path towards "electoral autocracy." He stressed that President Mahama himself has repeatedly dismissed any suggestion of seeking another term, pointing to remarks made during the Resetting Ghana tour in Ho. Agbey maintained that the President's declaration should end the debate once and for all, urging "sycophantic allies" to stop encouraging speculation about extending the President's stay in office.
