The Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, has disclosed following his new poll conducted that Ghana is divided over the calls for a third term for President John Dramani Mahama.
A new poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics disclosed that Ghanaians are divided on whether President Mahama should seek a third term in office.
The poll, released on Monday, July 27, 2026, shows 50% of respondents disagree with calls for Mahama to seek another term, while 40% support the idea and 10% remain undecided.
Mussa Dankwah, in a post on X, wrote, “Nation divided as 50% of voters disagree with those calling for Mahama to seek a third term in office. 40% of voters, however, support the call with 10% undecided”.
In related news, President John Dramani Mahama has bluntly rejected calls for a third presidential term, insisting that his position is clear and will not change.
According to John Mahama, the Supreme Court case on Presidential term limits is not his business.
Mahama disclosed that he believes the constitutional provision governing presidential tenure is clear, following a legal action seeking the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the two-term limit for presidents.
Speaking during the Reset Tour and citizens’ engagement in the Volta Region on Friday, July 17, President Mahama stated, “Let me be very clear. The Constitution is not ambiguous. It is exactly what it says”.
“I have read Article 66 over and over. A president is limited to two terms. Full stop. Those who have gone to the Supreme Court are free to do so. That is their right. But my position is clear, and it will not change.”
He added, “I know that people have gone to the Supreme Court seeking interpretation of the clause that governs the tenure of the president. If you ask my personal opinion, I thought that it was clear enough. I’ve read it over several times; it’s exactly what it says, but if they want to ask the Supreme Court, that is their business”.
“The people of Ghana gave me a mandate for one term. And I am working hard to meet the promises I made them,” he said.
Mahama added that he has urged his ministers to work with urgency to ensure the government fulfils its commitments.
“I always tell my ministers, I say let’s number our days, so that we can work harder to meet the promises we made the Ghanaian people,” he said.
President Mahama added, “But I know that the people of Ghana gave me one additional term, and I’m going to work to meet the trust that they put in me”.
Meanwhile, A New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team member, Atick Yakubu, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, would be President John Dramani Mahama’s biggest opposition to his pursuit of a third term in office.
According to the NPP man, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah would be the leading voice against any attempt by President Mahama to pursue a third term in office.
He alleged that Asiedu Nketiah would strongly challenge any decision by President Mahama to seek an extension of his presidency beyond the constitutional two-term limit.
Speaking on a panel discussion on Joy Prime TV, Yakubu stated, “If President Mahama decides to go for a third term, his biggest opposition will come from his own party. It will come from his own party because we have the national chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, moving around for the past year…Asiedu Nketia will pipe it out”.
