The Anchoring Democracy Advocacy Movement Ghana (ADAM‑GH) has taken legal action at the Supreme Court, challenging what the group describes as an attempt by President John Dramani Mahama to seek a third term in office.
The group’s Executive Secretary, Azubila Salam Emmanuel, announced the filing, citing concerns over constitutional provisions regarding presidential term limits. ADAM‑GH is urging the Court to clarify and interpret the law to prevent any potential breach of Ghana’s democratic framework.
According to Emmanuel, the legal action is aimed at protecting the integrity of the nation’s constitution and ensuring that no individual circumvents the established term limits set for the presidency.
The petition by ADAM‑GH reflects ongoing public debate in Ghana over the interpretation of constitutional clauses related to presidential tenure. Observers note that Ghana’s Constitution clearly limits the presidency to two terms, and any attempt to extend beyond that is likely to attract legal scrutiny.
The Supreme Court has yet to schedule hearings on the case, but the filing is expected to generate significant attention from both legal analysts and political stakeholders. ADAM‑GH has called on the judiciary to act decisively in upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the democratic process.
The organization also emphasized that its action is not politically motivated but is a defense of Ghana’s constitutional democracy, reiterating that no individual should be allowed to alter the limits set by the nation’s highest legal document.
