The Minority in Parliament has accused the Mahama administration of undermining the Constitution and weakening the Judiciary. The Minority claims the government believes the Judiciary is too weak to act on its violations.

On May 12, 2025, the Minority Caucus issued a press release criticizing the government for violating Article 60 of the 1992 Constitution. The Minority pointed out that the President, Vice President, and Speaker of Parliament are all out of the country, yet no Acting President was sworn in.

“This is a clear violation of Article 60 of the Constitution,” the statement read. The Minority referenced the Asare v. Attorney General case, which ruled that the country must never be without a constitutionally appointed Acting President.

The Minority described the government’s actions as “deliberate and calculated,” asserting that this administration views the Constitution as a mere inconvenience.

The caucus also warned that Ghana’s constitutional democracy is fragile. They stated, “Our democratic progress is not guaranteed.”

John Darko, Legal Counsel to the Minority Caucus, signed the statement. The release ended with a vow to hold the government accountable. “We will continue to expose and resist these violations,” it said.
