Professor Appiagyei-Atua questions Supreme Court petitions on presidential term limits

He argues that the constitutional provision on presidential terms is clear and does not require further interpretation. According to Professor Appiagyei-Atua, serving two terms, whether consecutive or non-consecutive, exhausts a person's eligibility to serve as President. He emphasized that if the law is unambiguous, the Supreme Court does not need to interpret it.

Two individuals, Ganiwu Alhassan and Kenneth Kwabena Agyei Kuranchie, have filed separate suits seeking interpretation of these term limits. Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has publicly stated he will not seek a third term, confirming his current mandate is limited to one final term under the constitution.
