Ghana should pass a constitutional instrument (CI) to mandate that a sitting Vice President must step down if he/she is elected to run for president, and a new Vice President should be appointed to replace the Vice Presidential candidate for presidential elections.

The reasons are twofold; first, the sitting Vice President will be compromising his/her position as Vice President; second, the sitting Vice President will be using government resources and state funds to run for president.

Therefore, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia should resign as Vice President of Ghana.

This will promote fairness and integrity in the electoral process
