Since returning to office in January 2025, the Mahama administration has outlined a series of governance and policy initiatives aimed at addressing economic recovery, institutional reforms, and social development. Some of these initiatives fall within the legal powers of the executive, while others—such as certain fiscal decisions, institutional changes, and constitutional amendments—require parliamentary approval or judicial interpretation. This has sparked debate over what the administration can and cannot legally do within its current mandate.

On [insert date], join the Hans Africa Institute (HANS) for a virtual discussion with legal experts, governance scholars, and policy practitioners on the constitutional boundaries of executive power in Ghana. Panelists will unpack the administration’s policy agenda, explore recent legal challenges, and provide clarity on the actions that are lawfully enforceable versus those that require broader institutional approval. Viewers can submit questions via email to events@hansafrica.org or join the conversation on Twitter/X using #MahamaGovernance.
