The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is advocating for a significant amendment to the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
He believes that the focus of the constitution should shift towards facilitating economic development in the country.
During a recent address to the Volta Regional House of Chiefs in Ho, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the primary goal of the 1992 Constitution was to ensure political stability in Ghana. After 30 years of successful democracy, he believes it is time to prioritize economic development in the constitution.
Dr. Bawumia has pledged to initiate a thorough review of the document if he is elected president in the upcoming elections. He highlighted the importance of consulting widely with various stakeholders to ensure that the constitutional amendments align with the country’s economic development goals.
In addition to constitutional changes, Dr. Bawumia urged political parties to work together on a long-term national development plan. He emphasized the need for consensus among political leaders to minimize policy inconsistencies and enhance the country’s development trajectory.
Overall, Dr. Bawumia’s call for constitutional reform and a national development plan reflects his commitment to advancing Ghana’s economic growth and prosperity. As the NPP flagbearer, he is positioning himself as a champion of economic transformation and inclusive governance.
