A coalition of political parties will, today, May 5, 2025, embark on a demonstration against the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The coalition includes the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), and the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), among others.
The protesters will march through the principal streets of Accra to urge President John Mahama to rescind his decision.
The suspension followed the establishment of a prima facie case after three separate petitions were filed calling for her removal.
However, the political parties involved have strongly condemned the decision, calling it a direct attack on the independence of the judiciary.
They have also alleged that it is not an isolated incident but part of a broader scheme to “capture every arm of government, even the judiciary.”
The demonstration is expected to begin at 7 am, starting from a park opposite the Supreme Court.
They will march through Parliament House, ending at the Jubilee House, where the petition will be submitted to President Mahama or a representative.
