In a surprising move, advocacy group Democracy Hub has announced its decision to participate in the upcoming Council of State elections, despite its long-standing stance in favor of abolishing the Council. Apexnewsgh reports
This pragmatic approach is driven by the group’s recognition that real change requires working within the existing system.
Democracy Hub has consistently championed bold reforms to reshape Ghana’s governance structures, with the abolition of the Council of State being a critical component of their proposals. However, they acknowledge that the Council’s role in the constitutional amendment process cannot be ignored. By law, all bills seeking to amend the Constitution must be referred to the Council of State for consideration, making the Council’s composition crucial in determining the success or failure of constitutional reforms.
To ensure the Council does not hinder progress, Democracy Hub is supporting candidates who share their vision for transformative governance. This strategic move demonstrates the group’s commitment to achieving lasting change, even if it means working with the existing system for the time being.
