A Group calling itself Ghanaians for Progress (GHAPRO) has declared support for a third term in office for President John Mahama.
GHAPRO urged President John Dramani Mahama to reconsider his decision not to contest again and to make himself available to seek a fresh mandate in 2028.
According to GHAPRO, under Mahama’s leadership in the last one year and eight months, Ghana has witnessed a deliberate and determined effort to reset our economy and stabilise it towards investor confidence.
The group argued that President Mahama has demonstrated exceptional capacity, adding that a nation in the middle of vital economic progress and Institutional reforms cannot afford an abrupt disruption in leadership momentum.
Speaking during a press conference, the spokesperson for Ghanaians for progress(GHAPRO) stated, “We stand here today to talk about the future of our great nation. Ghana needs strong and steady leadership to grow. We are here to address a matter of critical national importance concerning the future and stability, economic recovery, and developmental trajectory of our great nation.
We stand at a crucial crossroads where the choice we make today will shape our path for decades to come. Under the visionary leadership of President Mahama for the past one year and eight months, we have witnessed a deliberate and determined effort to reset our economy and stabilise it towards investor confidence”.
They further added, “We know the immense public discourse, the legal and constitutional debate currently active across the country regarding the presidential term limit. We deeply respect the foundational laws of our republic; we believe that the Supreme Law exists to serve the welfare and survival of the people.
When a leader demonstrates exceptional capacity, as John Mahama has done, the citizenry holds a moral duty to reevaluate. A nation in the middle of vital economic progress and Institutional reforms cannot afford an abrupt disruption in leadership momentum.
This is our direct appeal to the President and the citizens of Ghana and, by extension, Asanteman. We are using this platform to officially and passionately call on His Excellency the President to reconsider his prior thought of stepping down to make himself available to seek a fresh mandate from the people in 2028”.
They further urged citizens, youths, traditional leaders, and Civil Society Organisations to rise above partisan divide and rally behind their patriotic call for Mahama’s continuity and stability to finish the work he has begun.
Also, the group argued that the 1992 constitution limiting a president to two terms is old and unhelpful to Ghana’s current progress.
GHAPRO called for that portion of the 1992 Constitution to be challenged in court.
“The 1992 constitution has a rule limiting a president to two terms; this law stops a good leader from finishing the good agenda started. This rule is old and unhelpful to our current progress and must be challenged in court to be changed”, they added.
Another spokesperson also argued that Ghana need a leader who has sympathy for the country and has a vision to implement things.
“If we want Ghana to progress, we need a leader who has sympathy for the country and has a vision to implement things that will help the country. Ghana For Progress: After sitting down, our President John Dramani Mahama, after one and seven months, the things he has put in place, we think if he is given another opportunity, he can help the country. A lot of presidents have come; looking at Mahama’s second term, no one can develop Ghana without sympathy for the people.
Look at the contractors and businessmen. When our president came, if you look at the Big Push, he has given the contracts to local contractors so the money will not leave the country it will remain here.
We are pleading with the Chiefs, our youths, and all Ghanaians to come and join Ghana for progress. We have all heard about the things happening in the country; some are saying it cannot be change other are saying it can be changed. If we look at the things our President is doing, if we do not allow him to continue, Ghana will be behind. That is why we are saying we should allow John Mahama to continue in 2028.”, he stated.
Meanwhile, a poll conducted by the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, has revealed that 65% of Ghanaian voters back President John Mahama’s decision not to seek a third term.
The poll released on Monday, July 27, 2026 and shared revealed that 65% of voters back President Mahama’s decision not to seek a third term, while 27% disagree and 8% have no opinion.
