IDEG Urges National Consensus for Constitutional Reforms to Strengthen Ghana's Democracy

The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) has called for a national consensus on constitutional reforms to enhance Ghana's democratic future. In a statement made by Dr. Emmanuel, the Executive Director of IDEG, the organization emphasized the urgency of these reforms, which have been delayed due to a lack of agreement among successive governments from 2012 to 2020. IDEG highlighted that as Ghana approaches its 34th year of stable governance, the need for unity and good governance is more critical than ever, especially in light of regional democratic challenges.

IDEG's statement also pointed out that the submission of the Constitution Review Committee's report presents a significant opportunity to reshape governance practices in the country. The organization advocates for civic inclusion and a rejection of divisive politics, stressing that restoring trust and accountability in governance is essential to prevent democratic regression. With Constitution Day 2026 on the horizon, IDEG is urging all stakeholders to come together and address these pressing issues to safeguard the nation's democracy.
