The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) has voiced its opposition to the presidential nomination of District Chief Executive (DCE) candidates for election. This stance was outlined in a position paper submitted as part of Ghana's constitutional review process.

Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey, Executive Director of the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG), has stressed the critical need for extensive public education to ensure the successful implementation of proposed constitutional reforms in Ghana.

Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey, Executive Director of the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG), has called for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to build consensus on the election of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives.

The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) states that the lack of political consensus between Ghana's NPP and NDC parties is a major impediment to deepening decentralization and strengthening local governance reforms.
