The presidential nominee of the Progressive People’s Party, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, has laid out policies he described as “non-negotiable.”
“We will ensure that we reform out constitution because there are some things that are wrong in there. If we don’t change them, we are not going to move forward,” he said. “We will reform to make sure that we vote elect Municipal, Metropolitan and District Chief Executives just as it is done in all the countries that are doing well."
He made this known when he took his turn at GTV’s Presidential Encounter Friday.

Dr Nduom also pledged to separate the offices of the Ministry of Justice from the Attorney General’s so as to fight corruption and secure effective prosecution without interference.
He also promised “real responsibilities and separation of powers” between the presidency and parliament by ensuring that MPs do not become ministers.
Dr Nduom, who was disqualified by the Electoral Commission for multiple errors on his nomination forms and re-admitted into the presidential race promised additional radical reforms.
He promised to govern with not more than 40 ministers and also do away with regional ministers if he is elected president in the December vote.
