About Constitution Day (Ghana)

Constitution Day is a public holiday in Ghana observed on 7 January each year. It marks the day in 1993 when Ghana's Fourth Republican Constitution came into force, formally restoring civilian multiparty democracy after a period of military rule.

The holiday is an opportunity for Ghanaians to reflect on the values enshrined in the 1992 Constitution — including freedom of speech, the rule of law, and the protection of fundamental human rights. Schools, government offices, and civic organisations often hold commemorative events, debates, and educational programmes to raise public awareness of constitutional rights and responsibilities.

Constitution Day falls just after the New Year, setting a civic tone at the start of the calendar year and reminding citizens of Ghana's democratic heritage.
