In a video shared on Facebook by Joy News, the NPP MPs were heard chanting loudly, "No third term, Mahama! We want peace, Mahama."
Calls for Mahama's third-term bid intensifies
After securing his second-term presidential bid in 2024, President Mahama will not be constitutionally eligible to contest in the 2028 elections.
This means that the ruling NDC will have to head to the polls to elect a new presidential candidate for the forthcoming elections.
As a result, several bigwigs of the party have begun lacing their boots and giving subtle hints of their intention to succeed President Mahama.
However, due to the performance of his administration so far, some Ghanaians, including members of the NDC and traditional leaders such as Nana Boadi Amponim Obo-dade III, are calling for an amendment in the Ghanaian constitution to allow President Mahama to contest for a third term.
