Doe Adjaho leads Mahama’s new Council of State

Former Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho, has been appointed as the Chairman of President John Mahama’s newly constituted Council of State.

The 27-member advisory body, comprising 16 elected regional representatives and 11 presidential appointees, was sworn in on Tuesday night.

Key appointees include former Attorney-General Betty Mould Iddrisu, ex-MP Cletus Avoka, and retired Supreme Court Justice Vida Akoto-Bamfo.

Additionally, institutional appointments feature ex-Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo and former IGP Mohammed Alhassan.

The Council of State, mandated by the 1992 Constitution, plays a crucial role in advising the President on governance, key appointments, and national policies.

Members will serve throughout Mahama’s tenure unless removed by parliamentary approval.
