According to the 2025 Afrobarometer research, over half of Ghanaians say they want a coup because they are fed up with the country’s repeated failed governments.
Citing years of political failure and broken promises, the recent Afrobarometer research found that over half of Ghanaians would accept a coup as an alternative to the current democratic administration.
According to the survey, popular confidence in Ghana’s democratic institutions has been undermined by growing discontent with successive regimes.
Many citizens believe that a military-led government could provide the discipline and decisive leadership needed to address persistent issues such as corruption, unemployment, and economic instability.
The report highlights that frustration is especially high among the youth and urban populations, who feel that traditional political structures have consistently failed to deliver meaningful change.
Analysts warn that this shift in public sentiment poses a significant threat to Ghana’s reputation as a stable democracy in West Africa.

Political commentators have called for urgent reforms to rebuild trust in democratic governance, emphasizing that the increasing openness to non-democratic alternatives could destabilize the nation if left unaddressed.
Ghana, often praised as a beacon of democracy on the continent, now faces a critical moment where the future of its democratic journey could be at risk if immediate steps are not taken to restore public confidence.
