John Dramani Mahama is Ghana’s President
President John Dramani Mahama has assured that the report of the Constitution Review Committee will be implemented in a bipartisan manner.
According to him, the implementation will be carried out in a way that brings all Ghanaians together.
He made the assurance when the committee presented its final report to him on Monday, December 22, 2025.
Constitutional Review Committee set to present report to President Mahama
“You were carefully chosen for your integrity, your credibility and we haven’t had the experience of constitutional review committees before and the fact that at the end of it we had been unable to agree how to move the process forward.
“This time we said let’s choose the committee very carefully, so that it’s a committee that Ghanaians have trust in, so that when the report comes it would be nonpartisan, it would not have been influenced by any political interest, so that it would make it easier for all of us to come together and move the process forward,” he noted.
President Mahama said that early next year, a committee will be set up to oversee the implementation of the recommendations.

“As soon as we resume early next year, we’re moving from the constitutional review process into the implementation process, and so early next year we’ll announce an implementation committee”, he added.
The committee proposed several changes, including a review of the powers of the Attorney-General and a proposal to increase the presidential tenure by five years.
It also recommended transferring some of the Attorney General’s responsibilities to an Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, allowing the office to focus on “international arbitration and big constitutional cases.”
The committee was formed by President Mahama to promote the Constitutional Review Process’s implementation.
