The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has once again firmly dismissed any suggestion of a third-term agenda for President John Dramani Mahama, stressing its commitment to Ghana’s constitutional order and democratic principles.
According to the party’s general secretary, the party remains firmly committed to the two-term limit in the Constitution and has no intention of pursuing any agenda to extend the presidential tenure, regardless of its strength in Parliament.
