Ghana's constitution review commission begins nationwide public consultation process

The Constitution Review Committee (CRC) has officially kicked off its nationwide zonal public consultation exercise, beginning with a robust and highly interactive regional forum held on Monday, June 16, 2025, at the Akayet Hotel in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region. This inaugural forum is the first of several regional engagements designed to gather broad public opinion and expert perspectives on possible reforms to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution. The event marks a major milestone in the CRC’s mission to foster inclusive, citizen-driven constitutional reform. To expand public reach and engagement, the session was complemented by live-streaming services and a series of in-depth media interviews granted by the CRC Chair and Secretary on local radio stations, allowing people across the region and beyond to engage with the process. The Bolgatanga forum drew a rich cross-section of participants, including paramount chiefs, Tindana, civil society actors, disability rights advocates, youth leaders, political party representatives, traditional authorities, district assembly members, teachers, clergy, professionals, journalists, retirees, and students. The level of participation reflected both the relevance of the review process and the deep public interest in constitutional change.
