Ghana has strongly condemned the recent military takeover in Guinea-Bissau, calling it an attack on democratic governance and the will of the people.
In a statement issued on November 26, 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that the government "unequivocally condemns the coup d’état carried out by elements of the military in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau." The statement emphasized that the military action "represents a direct assault on democratic governance" and disrupts the electoral process that followed the peaceful presidential and legislative elections.
The Ghanaian government expressed "profound concern" over the "brazen attempt to overturn the will of the people" and stated that the coup "dangerously interrupted the democratic trajectory of the nation" while obstructing the anticipated announcement of election results.
In its call for the "immediate restoration of constitutional order," Ghana urged all parties in Guinea-Bissau to respect the democratic process and to address any electoral grievances through "peaceful, transparent, and legally recognized mechanisms."
The statement also highlighted the need for the protection of both citizens and foreign nationals, stressing that the safety of officials from the ECOWAS Election Observation Mission "must be guaranteed without delay."
Furthermore, Ghana appealed to the people of Guinea-Bissau to "remain calm, exercise maximum restraint, and avoid actions that could escalate tensions."
In conclusion, the statement reiterated Ghana’s full support for the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union in coordinating a regional response, in line with protocols on democracy, good governance, and constitutional rule.
