18th April 2005 		In response to Mitsi;

The government of Ghana is a constitutional democracy. The president and vice president are elected on the same ticket by popular vote for four-year terms. The most recent election was held on 7 December 2004 resulting in the president John Agyekum Kufuor maintaining his position with 52.75% of the vote.

For more information on the government of Ghana, see the government page of the detailed public profile for Ghana.
