Of The ‘Tsunami’ Effect, And Praise For Ghana’s Electoral Commission
By Ajoa Yeboah-Afari
DEC 21, 2020
It wasn t exactly the overwhelming aseda (thank you) votes for President Nana Akufo-Addo that some of us had expected, as I wrote last week, but he has won a second term “to do more.” And victory is victory.
Nevertheless, the crushed expectations seemingly indicated a kind of protest from some quarters, from the grassroots.
Anyway, the tsunami-like devastating impact of the results of election 2020 on the Members of Parliament (MPs) holding ministerial portfolios, the MPs-cum-ministers, also appears to provide a pointer to the need to complete the review of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, 1992.

Nevertheless, the crushed expectations seemingly indicate a kind of protest from some quarters, from the grassroots.
Anyway, the tsunami-like devastating impact of the results of Election 2020 on the Members of Parliament holding ministerial portfolios, the MPs-cum-ministers, also appears to provide a pointer to the need to complete the review of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, 1992.
It has to be updated to take account of current realities.
It has been reported that as many as 22 MPs holding ministerial positions lost their seats, some of them political heavyweights.
Despite the hard work of the Akufo-Addo Government, the numerous initiatives tackling the developmental needs of the country, and in very creative ways, his New Patriotic Party was not able to sweep the seats in the House as happened in 2016. Perplexing, to say the least.
