The NDC doesn't have any already made candidate 3 days ago

The NDC doesn't have any winnable candidate that's why they need Mahama to spend more years in power to enable them groom another person. But we're sorry Ghana can't wait for a sleeping party.

What do you mean? The word "Consecutive" means one should serve in successions, right? Go to the US and find out some of their president after serving a four-year term and losing, they came back and after that they did not go to file a petition to their Supreme Court demanding an interpretation of the term consecutive.

If some of us allow this petty grammar to cause confusion, it is the greedy politician who is cashing in our ignorance. Two terms means, two terms be it separate of consecutive.

Ghana is not America. By the wording of the constitution Mahama is fully qualified for another term in office. The constitution says 2 consecutive terms. Has Mahama served 2 consecutive terms?
The irrelevance of the interpretation of the constitution lies in Mahama's reluctance to serve more than 2 presidential terms.
Mahama has stated categorically that he is serving two terms as the president of Ghana and that is it.

The foolishness do not allow you to understand the constitution because you are an illiterate. No constitution says consecutive terms.

You just simply do not understand english.
The constitution states 'two consecutive terms',period.
To avoid any doubt the word 'consecutive' must be removed and replaced by ' two terms'.

Well said, but we have seen the harmful side of that part of the law, and we're saying that it must be changed. It should either be consecutive terms of more terms.

All these petitions are covertly being sponsored by greedy Mahama. The military option is always available for Ghanaians. Mahama can go forward to manipulate the constitution and he will leave to regret it. It will pave way for mines exproprated to his brother to be returned to the people of ghana the true owners of the mines.

John Mahama is not only the wise person in Ghana. You done your part. Don't try to turn our constitution upside down. The constitution make it clear. We Ghanaians will charge you and your government as a Treason when parliament or supreme courts of the land says so,. That was the reason you and you government sacked former chief justice. So that you can things . It will never happen in our country Ghana. We want peace. No war.

If the current Ghanaian Supreme Court really takes up the so-called petitions, it would be terribly sad, and show how low the country has slipped.
They should just reject the petitions outright because the said Article on Election and term of the president is so clear that it doesn’t need any interpretation from any other person whatsoever.
Unless, the court is in connivance with Mahama to dupe we the people there is no need to waste their time

This petition should have been brought long ago when a president is serving his first term . Not at this time . The petition they brought before the supreme court, do you think if it were to be brought in the tenure of the previous government and the previous administration under Supreme Court. The previous Supreme Court administration would have ruled in favor of in they knew it’s going to Favour the president. You have all witnessed case which was sent to court for interpretation involving One MP during the previous administration from one party.

Trust me. If this discussion about a third term were centered on an NPP member, people like this man would be saying that the petitions deserve serious attention at the Supreme Court. Yet now, they seem to apply a different standard. These are the same people who claim to have a conscience and to stand for fairness.

If majority of intelligent Ghanaians wants JDM to contest again, what's your headache, or you want those thieves to come loot and destroy this country again? Even if JDM decides not to contest, we shall NOT allow those thieves get closer to governance again till 3098. However, that massive demonstration is in the pipeline and should JDM refuse to accept the demands of intelligent Ghanaians, I shall go beat him up ruthlessly. Not even Lordina can stop me. The thieves are shaking with JDM continuing
