Survey Shows Strong Support for Five-Year Presidential Term and Separation of Powers
Majority of Ghanaian voters support several key constitutional reform proposals contained in the Constitutional Review Commission’s report released earlier this month, according to a nationwide survey by Global InfoAnalytics.
The poll indicates broad backing for extending the presidential term from four to five years. About 57 percent of respondents said they support the proposal, while 36 percent opposed it. The remaining seven percent were undecided.
There is also strong public support for separating parliamentary and ministerial responsibilities. The survey found that 58 percent of voters favour a constitutional ban on Members of Parliament serving concurrently as ministers. In contrast, 32 percent opposed the proposal, with 10 percent expressing no clear position.
Similarly, a majority of respondents support reducing the minimum age required to contest the presidency. According to the findings, 55 percent are in favour of lowering the age limit, while 35 percent are against it. Another 10 percent said they were undecided.
Global InfoAnalytics said the survey was conducted between December 1 and December 21, 2025, using a mix of online surveys, telephone interviews and face-to-face interviews. A total of 13,495 registered voters were sampled nationwide.
