President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans by the government to establish a Constitutional Review Implementation Committee in early 2026 to consider and operationalise the recommendations contained in the recently submitted Constitutional Review Committee report.
Speaking after receiving the report at the Jubilee House on Monday, President Mahama stated that the proposed implementation committee will thoroughly examine the recommendations and develop a clear roadmap for reforms, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the 1992 Constitution.
According to him, the implementation committee will engage key stakeholders, including Parliament, civil society organisations, political parties, and the general public, to build consensus around proposed constitutional amendments.
President Mahama stressed that constitutional reform must be inclusive and transparent, noting that changes to the Constitution should reflect the will of the people and strengthen democratic governance, accountability, and the effectiveness of state institutions.
The Constitutional Review Committee was tasked with assessing the operation of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution and proposing reforms following extensive nationwide consultations.
The government’s decision to set up an implementation committee signals the next phase of the constitutional review process. Enditem
