The Council of State elections will take place today, February 11, 2025.
A total of 155 candidates from all 16 regions of Ghana have filed their nominations to contest in the elections.
Data provided by the Electoral Commission (EC) shows that the aspirants include 145 males and 10 females.
Per the laws that govern the organisation of the elections, it is not open to all registered voters, but the selection process follows an Electoral College system, where voting is carried out by representatives from each district.
Two representatives are chosen by each of Ghana’s 261 District Assemblies, creating a pool of electors who will vote to choose the final members of the Council of State.
The Council of State is a constitutionally mandated advisory body that provides guidance to the President on policy formulation and national governance.
It is established under Article 89 of the 1992 Constitution and serves as a key consultative body, offering expert advice on governance-related issues, national security, economic development, and other critical state affairs.
