Concerned Ghanaian Citizens have called on President John Dramani Mahama to consider leading the country beyond 2028.
According to the group, they are not speaking on behalf of any political party but for what it described as millions of ordinary Ghanaians calling for continuity.
They argued that the government’s Reset Agenda had recorded progress in the areas of economic management, taxation, governance, job creation, social protection, infrastructure and environmental protection.
They further credited the government for helping to stabilise inflation and strengthen the Ghana cedi, while also restoring business confidence and advancing Ghana’s debt restructuring efforts.
The Concerned Ghanaian Citizens praised the government for abolishing taxes including the Electronic Levy, Betting Tax and Emissions Levy, labelling the measures as relief for businesses, young people and mobile money users.
The group argued that the gains being recorded under the Reset Agenda required continuity beyond Ghana’s constitutionally permitted two terms.
Speaking at a press conference held at Asamankese in the Eastern Region on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, the Concerned Ghanaian Citizens stated, “We have gathered here today not on behalf of any political party, but on behalf of millions of ordinary Ghanaian citizens who are crying for continuity”.
“We are here to make a humble and passionate appeal to His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, to listen to the voice of the people and consider leading Ghana beyond 2028.”
They further added, “Ghanaians are saying two terms are not enough to finish the resetting. The foundation has been laid in 2025. The architecture must be completed.”
“The market woman, the okada rider, the young coder and the farmer – they are all asking for continuity.”
However, 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”.
Meanwhile, 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”.
