General News of Sunday, 28 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comGovernance analyst Professor Kwaku Agyeman-Duah has openly opposed recommendations by the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) to reduce Ghana’s minimum presidential age from 40 to 30 years. According to him, such a change would undermine leadership maturity and weaken the country’s democratic stability. “Of course, I personally didn't like the idea of reducing the age from 40 to 30 because I think at 30 years, we don't have enough maturity,” he argued. He indicated that even those who manage to complete postgraduate studies by that age may lack the practical exposure required to govern a country. Professor Agyeman-Duah also differentiated between parliamentary roles and the presidency, pointing out that the level of scrutiny and responsibility differs significantly.
