NPP Set to Announce Position on Proposed Amendments to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it is preparing to communicate its official position on proposed amendments to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.

In a statement dated August 28, 2026, and signed by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Chairman of the NPP Policy Co-ordination Committee, the party said it had completed an internal review of the proposed constitutional reforms.

The NPP said it had been formally consulted as part of the national constitutional review process and had made submissions to the Constitution Review Committee (CRC), which subsequently presented its report to the government.

According to the party, the government later issued a Position Paper dated July 30, 2026, outlining its responses to the recommendations contained in the CRC report.

The NPP’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Policy Committee subsequently undertook a detailed review of both documents.

The committee has now prepared the NPP’s own position paper following its analysis of the CRC report and the Government’s Position Paper.

The party said the completed position paper will first be submitted to its Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and the National Executive Committee (NEC) for consideration and adoption.

The NPP will then communicate its official position on the proposed constitutional amendments to the Ghanaian public.

The party has therefore not yet publicly indicated which specific proposals it supports, rejects or wants modified.

The NPP said its internal review is consistent with its commitment to inclusive and consultative decision-making.

It also reaffirmed its commitment to a transparent, inclusive and orderly constitutional review process that protects Ghana’s democracy, strengthens constitutional institutions and advances political stability.

The party said it believes the constitutional review process must ultimately contribute to the protection of Ghana’s democratic gains and the strengthening of the country’s constitutional framework.

The development comes as the proposed amendments to the 1992 Constitution continue to generate national discussion, with the NPP’s eventual position expected to contribute significantly to the broader debate.

The NPP’s latest position also follows its earlier invitation to members and identifiable groups to submit proposals for amendments to its own party constitution, reflecting the party’s ongoing focus on institutional and constitutional reforms.
