President John Dramani Mahama has officially addressed claims suggesting he intends to contest for a third term following the completion of his second term.
The Ghanaian leader assured the public that he will uphold the country’s two-term limit and refrain from contesting the 2028 presidential election.
According to President Mahama, relinquishing power after his second term will enable him to maintain stringent fiscal discipline and avoid the propensity for excessive spending during election years.
He made these remarks during bilateral discussions with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam during his three-day state visit.
The bilateral talks in Singapore focused on economic cooperation and investment.
President Mahama claimed that his administration has achieved notable progress, characterised by declining inflation and interest rates, alongside a strengthened cedi.
“I will not be a candidate in the next elections and therefore I can hold the line when it comes to fiscal discipline.”
