God Be My Witness—Even If It Takes My Blood, I’m Ready for Mahama to Serve Another Term: OB Declares

Political analyst and broadcaster Osei Bonsu has triggered widespread debate after publicly declaring his willingness to support President John Dramani Mahama’s possible third-term bid.

Speaking during a live programme, Bonsu said he would even risk his life to help Mahama remain in office for another term. He cited the president’s leadership abilities and achievements as the reasons behind his strong support.

He highlighted Mahama’s efforts in infrastructure development, education and constitutional reform, arguing that his experience in politics places him in a strong position to advance Ghana’s development.

Bonsu also maintained that serving only one term could give Mahama greater freedom to implement major policies without the pressure of campaigning for re-election.

The remarks come amid discussions about constitutional reforms and whether Ghana should consider allowing presidents to serve a third term. Opponents argue that such a move could weaken democratic safeguards, while supporters believe continued leadership could promote political and economic stability.

His comments have generated different opinions among Ghanaians. Although some have applauded his commitment to Mahama, others have criticised the idea of placing personal loyalty above constitutional principles.

The controversy has once again brought attention to presidential term limits, political divisions and the influence of public figures in Ghana’s political discussions.
