The Government of Ghana expresses deep dissatisfaction at the blatant attempt to overturn the will of the people of Guinea-Bissau that has led to an unconstitutional usurpation of authority in the country describing it as a direct attack on democratic governance after a peaceful presidential and legislative elections held on November 23, 2025.
This was expressed in a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday in Accra, stating that, the action has dangerously interrupted the democratic trajectory of the nation and obstructed the anticipated announcement of the election results scheduled for 27th November, 2025.
Ghana calls for the immediate restoration of constitutional order in Guinea-Bissau and urges all parties to respect the democratic process. “Any grievances stemming from the elections should be addressed solely through peaceful, transparent, and legally recognized mechanisms,” it added.
According to the release, the Government of Ghana requests that all citizens and foreign nationals’ security and fundamental rights be protected.
“Particular emphasis is placed on the protection of officials of the ECOWAS Election Observation Mission currently deployed in Guinea-Bissau, whose safety and secure passage must be guaranteed without delay”, it said.
The statement added that, Ghana appeals to the people of Guinea-Bissau to remain calm, exercise maximum restraint, and avoid actions that may escalate tensions.
“The Government of Ghana reaffirms its full support for ECOWAS and the African Union in their coordinated response to the situation, in accordance with regional and continental protocols on democracy, good governance, and constitutional rule”, it said.
