NDC’s Julius Kwame Anthony Criticises NPP’s Writ

By Ishmeal

Julius Kwame Anthony, Deputy National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has dismissed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) legal action concerning President John Dramani Mahama’s eligibility under Ghana’s presidential term-limit provisions.

Anthony expressed confidence in President Mahama’s respect for the 1992 Constitution, arguing that the constitutional rules governing presidential terms are clear.

He described the NPP’s writ as an unnecessary use of public resources, insisting that there was no reason to doubt the President’s commitment to the Constitution.

“There is zero doubt about Pres. Mahama’s respect for Ghana’s constitution on presidential term limits. NPP’s writ is essentially a waste of public time,” Anthony said.

His comments reflect the NDC’s position on the legal action and the debate surrounding the constitutional provisions governing presidential tenure in Ghana.

Ghana’s 1992 Constitution limits a person to two terms as President. Article 66(2) states that a President may not be elected to hold office for more than two terms.

The legal debate has drawn attention to the interpretation and application of the constitutional provisions governing presidential eligibility. The outcome will depend on the issues raised in the legal proceedings and the applicable constitutional requirements.
