A coalition led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is staging a public protest in Accra to demand the immediate reinstatement of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, whose suspension by President John Dramani Mahama has triggered widespread political backlash.
Demonstrators began assembling early Monday at a designated car park opposite the Supreme Court, preparing to march through major streets in the capital.
Organisers say the protest seeks to defend judicial independence and denounce what they describe as an unconstitutional and politically motivated action.
The NPP is joined by several allied political parties, including the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), and the Ghana Union Movement (GUM).
According to the coalition, the suspension and attempts to oust the Chief Justice threaten the foundations of Ghana’s democratic system.
In addition to the street march, protest leaders plan to deliver formal petitions to both Parliament and the Office of the President, urging a reversal of the decision and stronger protections for judicial autonomy.
