Ghanaian Parties Plan Nationwide Protest Over Chief Justice Suspension

A coalition of Ghanaian political parties, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced plans for a nationwide demonstration on May 5 to protest the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.


The protest aims to defend Ghana's constitutional order and the independence of the judiciary, following President John Dramani Mahama's decision to suspend the Chief Justice on April 22.


The suspension was based on a prima facie case established from three separate petitions seeking her removal.


The planned demonstration highlights growing tensions between the executive and judiciary branches of government in Ghana.


The coalition parties argue that the suspension undermines the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, sparking concerns about the country's governance and constitutional framework.


The protest is expected to draw significant attention to the issue, with potential implications for Ghana's political landscape.
