Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu assures constitution review will continue uninterrupted by December elections

The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has assured that the upcoming December 7, 2024, elections will not disrupt the work of the Constitution Review Consultative Committee.

The committee, formed by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, is responsible for gathering recommendations on the review of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.

Despite concerns regarding the timing of the committee’s work, which coincides with the election period, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu emphasized that the electoral process will not hinder the committee’s progress.

He cited historical precedents where constitutional amendments were successfully implemented shortly after elections, as seen in 1996, and expressed confidence that the consultation process would continue without delays.
