In his assessment, the current four-year presidential term in Ghana may not provide sufficient time for a government to enact substantial economic changes.
Drawing a comparison with the United States, where presidential terms are also four years, Rex Omar emphasized the stark contrast in democratic maturity between the two nations. He underscored that Ghana's democracy is still in its nascent stages compared to America's longstanding democratic traditions, suggesting that a longer presidential term could afford more leeway for impactful governance.
“Because America does elections every four years, we also jump on the bandwagon but the question is, America’s democracy is over 200 years. We just started, okay. So look at our situation,” he said.
Proposing a shift to a six-year presidential term, Rex Omar argued that an extended tenure would offer administrations the necessary runway to implement significant policies and initiatives. By allocating the initial year or year and a half to establish governance structures, a six-year term would allow ample time for substantive progress, thereby enabling governments to demonstrate tangible results within a single term.
