Today, May 5, 2025, a coalition of political parties will stage a major demonstration in Accra to protest the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The coalition, which includes the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), Ghana Union Movement (GUM), and others, is calling on President John Mahama to reverse the decision.
The suspension follows a prima facie case established from three petitions seeking her removal. However, the coalition condemns the move, citing it as an attack on the judiciary’s independence. They claim it’s part of a broader effort to dominate all government arms, including the Judiciary.
The protest will begin at 7:00 a.m. near the Supreme Court, marching through Accra’s main streets, including a stop at Parliament House, before ending at the Jubilee House. There, they’ll present a petition to President Mahama or his representative.
