Constitution review must rise above partisan politics — Prof Prempeh

Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh, Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and Chairperson of the 2025 Constitution Review Committee, has called for Ghana's ongoing constitutional review process to rise above partisan politics. Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express, Prempeh stressed that the Constitution should serve as a national document that benefits both present and future generations, rather than being used as a tool for advancing political agendas.

He emphasized that constitutional reforms must prioritize the long-term needs of the country and improve governance, rather than catering to the interests of any particular political party or administration. Prempeh stressed the importance of transparency, inclusiveness, and placing the national interest above political expediency to build public confidence in the review process.

He also encouraged political leaders to approach the process with a sense of patriotic obligation and urged Ghanaians to actively participate in the exercise by sharing their views and proposals.
