Ghana’s form of government is a republic. The country first became a republic in 1960, three years after gaining independence. Since then, other than during periods of military rule, Ghana’s constitutions have continued to adhere to a republican form of government and identify Ghana as a republic. Following the last coup (1981) and military government (1981–92), the adoption of the 1992 constitution restored multiparty democratic rule and established Ghana’s Fourth Republic, commencing in 1993, and under which the country continues to function today.
