Chief Imam of Ghana

Chief Imam of Ghana (also referred to as National Chief Imam or Grand Mufti of Ghana, "or simply" Chief Imam) is a de facto title for the highest Muslim religious authority in Ghana.

Role
Not necessarily leader of any Islamic sect, holder of the office represents the Ghanaian Muslim community in national affairs, build bridges between the country's many faiths and "support development programmes that sensitize people to their social responsibilities".

Succession controversies
There have been calls for Government of Ghana to give constitutional backing to the Chief Imam's office; as of January 2016, no major initiative has begun to look into the process.
