Ghana's President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has expressed deep concern about the threat to democracy in the West African subregion. He urged fellow West African leaders to uphold democratic principles and be accountable to their citizens.
President Akufo-Addo made these remarks during the opening ceremony of a high-level parliamentary seminar organized by the ECOWAS Parliament in Winneba, Ghana. The seminar's theme centered on "The Role of the ECOWAS Parliament in Addressing the Challenges of Unconstitutional Regime Change and Presidential Term Limits in West Africa."
In his address, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the economic, political, social, and security challenges facing the ECOWAS region. He stressed the importance of transparency, the promotion of democracy, and good governance as crucial factors in addressing these challenges.
The President's call comes at a time when some West African nations have experienced political instability, including military coups and attempts to extend presidential term limits. These events have raised concerns about the state of democracy and governance in the subregion.
President Akufo-Addo's message underscores the need for West African leaders to prioritize democratic values, uphold the rule of law, and be accountable to their citizens. It serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility of ECOWAS member states to maintain political stability and protect the democratic gains achieved in the region.
As West Africa continues to navigate complex political and security dynamics, leaders are urged to work together to ensure that democratic institutions are strengthened, constitutional rule is upheld, and the aspirations of their citizens are met.
