This pause will allow for verification of applicants in collaboration with South African Home Affairs authorities. The High Commission clarified that the repatriation exercise has not ended and assured that another registration phase will be announced after the current applications are processed. They expressed gratitude to the Ghanaian community in South Africa for their cooperation and patience during this structured arrangement to facilitate returns to Ghana.

Must ReadPresident John Dramani Mahama has responded to multiple lawsuits filed at the Supreme Court seeking an interpretation of constitutional provisions regarding presidential term limits. Speaking at Ho Technical University on Friday, July 17, 2026, President Mahama stated that Ghanaians granted him a mandate for one additional term, and his focus is on fulfilling his promises. He acknowledged that while some individuals have approached the Supreme Court for clarity on the relevant constitutional clause, he believes the provision is already clear. President Mahama emphasized his commitment to delivering on the trust placed in him by the Ghanaian people. His comments follow two separate suits filed by Ganiwu Alhassan and Kenneth Kwabena Agyei Kuranchie, seeking clarification on Article 662 of the 1992 Constitution, which limits a person to two terms as President of Ghana. The suits aim to determine if the two-term limit applies only to consecutive terms or if it permanently bars someone who has already served two terms from seeking the presidency again.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has called on President John Dramani Mahama to end Ghana's cycle of political retaliation, stating it would define the President's legacy. Speaking on Joy FM, Afenyo-Markin emphasized that both the New Patriotic Party NPP and the National Democratic Congress NDC have contributed to political "witch-hunts" and that the practice must cease. He recounted intervening in 2017 to secure the release of a former Mahama administration appointee who had been detained, despite being a member of the then-governing NPP. Afenyo-Markin acknowledged that some excesses occurred under the Akufo-Addo administration but argued the NDC should not repeat these mistakes. He expressed confidence that ending politically motivated actions would strengthen calls against political persecution in future administrations, especially if former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia becomes President. While advocating for an end to political retribution, Afenyo-Markin maintained that individuals found to have engaged in wrongdoing should still be investigated and prosecuted fairly and humanely.
