The President of Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs, Nana Ansah Adu Baah has expressed confidence in the policies of the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to impact positively on the nation.
At an interactive meeting with the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs in Goaso, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, Dr. Bawumia explained his vision and policies to the traditional rulers in detail, and how he is committed to transforming the country through the policies.
Responding to Dr. Bawumia’s presentation, the President of the Regional House of Chiefs, who is also the Omanhene of Yamfo Traditional Area, praised the personal traits of Dr. Bawumia, adding that the NPP Flagbearer’s presentation was compelling and he was convinced it would positively impact the nation and the next generation.
“Dr. Bawumia’s humility and policies are good for the country and the next generation. I have no doubt in my mind Bawumia means well for Ghana,” said Nana Ansah Adu Baah, who is also the Omanhene of Yamfo Traditional Area.
The President of the Regional House of Chiefs also commended Dr. Bawumia for his humility, which he said is admirable, and a required trait for leadership.
“The way he is humble is so admirable. I believe if he continues as our next President, it will be good for this country and the next generation. Let us help him and vote for him massively because he has good policies for this country. And his humility is really good for this country because it promotes peace and unity,” he concluded.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
