I am committed to amending 1992 Constitution: Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and presidential candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed his commitment to spearheading a constitutional amendment process if he secures the presidency in the upcoming general elections this year.

Delivering his inaugural address since being elected to lead the elephant party into the 2024 elections, he said the current constitution was designed mainly for political stability and it has achieved that

“We need to amend it with the   help   of   Parliament to   align   it   more   for   national development. In that context, I am committed to the process to  amend  the  1992  Constitution through extensive  public consultation, with key emphasis on issues such as ex-gratia, the  rights  of  dual  citizens,  election  of  MMDCEs  to  deepen decentralization, and empowering institutions while reducing the power of the President,” he stated.

This, he said will deliver a Ghana where emphasis is placed on values and doing  the  right  things,  with  the  human  factor  playing  its appropriate   role   in   curbing   corruption,   bribery,   crime, dishonesty,  etc.
