In a recent statement, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, addressed the burgeoning conversation surrounding a potential third term for former President John Dramani Mahama. Tameklo emphasized that such discussions should be viewed through the lens of democratic principles, acknowledging the space for varied opinions in a democratic society.
He pointed out that while the calls for an extended term may seem extreme, it is a part of the democratic dialogue that allows citizens to express their views. However, Tameklo reiterated the importance of aligning these discussions with Mahama’s own stance on the matter, suggesting that any push for a third term should ultimately respect the boundaries set by the former president.
This dialogue highlights the complexities and nuances of political discourse in Ghana, reflecting both the passions of the electorate and the need for adherence to constitutional limits on presidential terms.
