Former President John Mahama has criticised the Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, for failing to uphold Ghana's democratic principles in the 4th Republic.
The NDC flagbearer said the current administration has not taken sufficient measures to strengthen the country's democratic foundations.
In a tweet posted on X on Monday, April 15, Mr Mahama expressed worry, stating that government's prioritising of political expediency over other concerns has had detrimental effects on the nation.
The Nana Akufo Addo and Bawumia-led administration has crossed many red lines in our democratic practice. Their deliberate acts of putting political convenience ahead of democratic consolidation have left Ghana's 4th Republic the poorer for it.

He lamented that Ghana has suffered as a result of these deliberate actions by the government.
The former President reiterated his stance that significant efforts are required to reverse the current trend and ensure the protection and advancement of Ghana's democratic values.
"The Nana Akufo Addo and Bawumia-led administration has crossed many red lines in our democratic practice.
"Their deliberate acts of putting political convenience ahead of democratic consolidation have left Ghana's 4th Republic the poorer for it," he posted.
