Kejetia Queen Mother React to Woman’s Threat to Poison Herself Over Mahama’s Third Term

Traders at Bantama Market in Kumasi, together with Madam Grace Agyei, the Queen Mother of Kejetia Market, have reacted to a female trader’s shocking declaration that she would poison herself if President John Dramani Mahama decides to seek a third term in office.

The woman’s statement has sparked public discussion, particularly at a time when conversations about Ghana’s political future and the possibility of a third presidential term for Mahama continue to attract attention.

The female trader reportedly made the declaration to express her strong opposition to the idea of President Mahama seeking another term beyond the constitutionally permitted two-term limit.

Her comments have since attracted reactions from traders at Bantama Market, who have joined the growing public conversation surrounding the controversial statement.

Madam Grace Agyei, the Queen Mother of Kejetia Market, also joined the discussion, responding to the woman’s declaration alongside other traders.

The reactions have brought attention to the strong emotions that political discussions can generate among ordinary Ghanaians, particularly traders and people whose livelihoods depend on the country’s economic conditions.

President Mahama’s possible third-term ambition has become a subject of political discussion, although Ghana’s 1992 Constitution clearly limits a person from being elected President more than twice.

Under Article 66(2) of the Constitution, a person can only be elected President for two terms. This means Mahama, who previously served as President from 2013 to 2017 and returned to office in January 2025, cannot constitutionally seek election for a third term.

The debate has nevertheless continued to generate strong opinions from different sections of the public.

While some Ghanaians have expressed their views about the country’s political future, others believe the discussion should focus on governance, economic development and the needs of ordinary citizens.

The reactions from Bantama traders and the Kejetia Market Queen Mother have added another dimension to the ongoing conversation.

Meanwhile, the woman’s threat to poison herself has raised concerns about the intensity of political disagreements and the need for people to express their opinions without putting their lives at risk.

Political disagreements should never push anyone to consider harming themselves. Her statement deserves to be taken seriously, and she should be encouraged to seek support.
