Democracy hub has announced its readiness in participation in the upcoming Non-Partisan Council of State Elections which is a critical step to advance Constitutional Reform.
In a press release sighted by telegraphonline, they hinted that they will be presenting and sponsoring
candidates for the upcoming Council of State Elections in ensuring a governance system that reflects the will and aspirations of the
people.
According to them their participation is not a contradiction of their reformist ideals,Instead, it is a pragmatic move to safeguard the path toward a better future,by backing leaders committed to justice, equity, and constitutional reform.
we aim to transform the
Council into a force that champions the interests of the people rather than an
obstacle to progress.
“However, we recognize that real, lasting change must be achieved strategically,working within the confines of the existing system. While we stand firm in our call for the Council’s abolition, we also understand that its current role in the constitutional amendment process cannot be overlooked. By law, all bills seeking to
amend the Constitution must first be referred to the Council of State for
consideration. This means the composition of the Council is pivotal in determining whether constitutional reforms succeed or falter”.
While we continue to advocate for the abolition of the Council of State as part of broader governance reform, we cannot ignore its current role in shaping
constitutional change. Our involvement in this election ensures that the Council
will not stand as a roadblock to progress but will instead support the aspirations of the Ghanaian people for a fairer, more accountable system of governance.
