President Mahama dissolves board membership of corporations, councils

President John Dramani Mahama has immediately dissolved board membership of statutory boards, corporations, and councils.

The dissolution is in accordance with the President Transition Act, 2012 (Act 845). By this order, all members of statutory boards, corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo or a Minister of State cease to hold office.

This development was communicated in a press statement on Monday, January 13, 2025, by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Acting Spokesperson to the President.

“In accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), all members of statutory boards corporations, commissions and councils appointed by the former President or a former Minister of State ceased to hold office on 7th January 2025, following the assumption of office of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama,” the statement read.

The statement, however, clarified that the cessation of board membership does not affect independent constitutional creations.

President John Dramani Mahama is expected to reconstitute the affected boards and commissions in accordance with their respective enabling laws in due time.
