SUPREME COURT CAN INTERPRET THE CONSTITUTION TO ALLOW MAHAMA TO RUN FOR A THIRD TERM – Freddie Blay
The IMF stated that the GH¢1 fuel levy is a tactical approach consistent with the nation’s financial objectives under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) program.
Julie Kozack stated that the measure will enhance Ghana’s capacity to achieve the fiscal goals outlined in the programme.
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa FM on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, Blay stated, “The law is in the bosom of the judges,” Blay remarked, adding, “If it goes to the Supreme Court—which has the exclusive judicial right to interpret the Constitution—and that body decides that what it means by two terms is conservatively this or that, I don’t have a problem with it.”
“The law court does not vote for a president. The individuals who constitute a panel and may look at a case have only one vote each. It is the people of this country who will vote”, he emphasized.
The NPP have accused the NDC and John Mahama of plotting to remove Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkornoo to enable President John Dramani Mahama to contest for a third presidential term.
According to the NPP, some individuals are allegedly planning to interpret Article 66(2) of the Constitution in a way that implies the two-term limit applies only to two successive terms.
