No President can have more than two terms - Obed Asamoah

The former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Obed Yao Asamoah, has said that no President of the Republic of Ghana can have more than two terms of office.

The legal luminary said the Constitution has made it abundantly clear that a person shall not be elected to hold office as President of Ghana for more than two terms.


Dr. Asamoah was speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show programme yesterday.

It will be recalled that another legal luminary and former Supreme Court judge, Justice N.Y.B. Adade, recently called for a proper interpretation of Article 66 of the 1992 Constitution which deals with the tenure of office of the President, since the Constitution does not clearly define how the person elected as President should serve his two terms.
