The much-awaited report by the Constitutional Review Committee was presented to the Presidency on Monday, December 22, 2025.

Compiled over several months, the final report contains proposed amendments to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution aimed at strengthening governance, promoting citizen participation, and addressing key national issues.
