Democracy Hub Urges President Mahama to Release Full Constitution Review Committee Report

Democracy Hub is calling on President John Dramani Mahama to take urgent action, demanding the immediate release of the full Constitution Review Committee report as well as a clear, time-bound roadmap for constitutional reforms.

Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on Tuesday, April 21, the Director of Policy and Research at Democracy Hub, Kirchuffs Atengble, said the Youth Platform on Constitutional Reform is pushing for transparency and swift implementation of the proposed changes.

He argued that the release of only a summary report is not enough to enable meaningful public engagement.

He noted that while the group conditionally supports key proposals—including lowering the presidential age requirement, capping ministerial appointments, restructuring the judiciary, and strengthening decentralisation—its support depends on the publication of the full report, broad national consultations, and concrete implementation steps to avoid another stalled reform process.

“We demand that the government publish the full unabridged report of the Constitutional Review Committee, without further delay and reduction as indicated earlier,” he said.
