As President in 2025, Mahama will establish a Governance Advisory Council.

If re-elected in the 2024 elections, former president John Dramani Mahama has declared that he will create a Governance Advisory Council as part of his goal to enhance political governance, assist in reducing corruption, and ensuring the respect for human rights in the nation.

Mr. Mahama stated members of the proposed Governance Advisory Council will comprise representatives of civil society organizations, religious leaders, traditional leaders, and common Ghanaians when speaking to NDC executives and supporters as part of his effort to guide his party to the 2024 elections.

If elected in 2024, Mr. Mahama, who has pledged to fight corruption and bad administration on a long-term basis, says the Council's duties will include releasing an annual report on the state of government in Ghana.

According to Mr. Mahama, "the Council will publish a report on the state of human rights, corruption, and our governance every year. This report will serve as a guide for the government to know whether we are on the right track with regards to issues of governance, corruption, human rights, media freedoms, and other freedoms like torture and crime."

In order to encourage greater governance and combat corruption, Mr. Mahama established the Governance Advisory Council.

For government officials and ministers of state, Mr. Mahama created a code of ethics during his presidency.

The code of ethics mirrored the goal of his administration to maintain an orderly government with well-defined processes, protocols, and performance standards. Despite some concerns being acceptable in a traditional cultural environment, he reminded the ministers of state that they are prohibited by governance ethics and the law.

Delineating the ethical parameters within which actions and inactions may be regarded to be acceptable or undesirable, he said, is "one of the strongest ways to prevent unacceptable conduct and abuse of office by public officials."
