PMF on Nostr: The case of this dual citizen Ghanaian-Canadian candidate for Ghana’s Supreme Court ...
The case of this dual citizen Ghanaian-Canadian candidate for Ghana’s Supreme Court shows how dual citizenship can be a drawback for someone pursuing a career in politics or government service. 👇
Even when it is lawful for a dual citizen to serve in a particular position, political adversaries can use the fact of being a dual citizen against you in the court of public opinion.
The same thing happened to @DrOz when he was running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022.
“Prof. Oppong, who holds dual Ghanaian-Canadian citizenship, could become the first dual citizen to serve on Ghana's Supreme Court. This follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned certain provisions of the Citizenship Act, thereby allowing dual citizens to hold positions such as Chief Justice and Chief Director.”
