The President should be impeached so the Minority should as a matter of urgency begin the impeachment process. John Mahama cannot violates the constitution with impunity. This is the second time the incompetent President has violated the constitution since the assumption of power. He initially trampled upon the constitution by unilaterally suspending Chief Justice Torkonoo without following the due process under article 296 of the 1992 constitution. This flagrant disregard of the constitution by President Mahama shows his desire for Military rule over democracy. If care is not taken, John Mahama action and inactions might compare the military to intervene to rectify all this anomalies even I am strong antagonist of military rule. May God save us from this tyranny of John Mahama.

It takes votes to impeach, 88 MPs cannot get the needed votes to embark on impeachment process.

I see! With what numbers are they going to leverage on to impeach the president? Is it the 88 members at the house or the 32.8% total votes?

If Ghana should come under attack now, and our airspace is no longer safe; who is our leader? Constitutions are drafted with good reasons, often referred to as the spirit of the constitution. Don't comment ignorantly. Winning an election with landslide does not call for riding roughshod without regard to the constitution. Those who hailed you today will be the same to call for your crucifixion, so NDC must be careful.

SO, who to be the acting president then. The president is outside, the vice is abroad, the speaker is travelled outside and the Chief justice is suspended. the constitution did not stated that the acting chief justice shall be the acting president. So NPP who from the constitution?

The chief justice is not voted for 7 months ago

As such the wording is not a names person..it's anyone who is the chief justice at the time. The acting person the head and assumes the role of president it's common sense..there is no crisis here

@kweks. I can not agree with you more. Honestly, I don't see any future for Ghana with this primitive partisan politics. Everything is seen through political lens. When shall we be patriotic and start thinking about Ghana?

I hereby inform the minority that H.E. John Mahama asked Nana Akuffo Addo to act while he was away. Sammy Gyamfi's misbehaviour happen when Nana Addo was acting. Sammy realised that Nana Addo would easily tolerate such in fractions. We are even lucky that the Cedi didn't depreciate when Nana acted.

This is an archaic constitutional rule in modern times and should be amended. Presidents don't cease to be presidents when outside the country. Modern communications makes it possible to stll govern from outside the country.

This should not happen if Ghana values its constitution. It is unheard of that the president, the vice and the speaker should all be out of the country at the same time and even the chief justice who should be acting in the President is under suspension. Therefore who is the acting president when all these people are not available?

dummy there is not a constitutional crisis, rather the ruling government out itself up to coup without a sitting president in place for those hours and very dangerous to the ruling party.
