The Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine, has been served with an injunction application seeking to stop the President from proceeding with the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Earlier, Ghanaian citizen Ebenezer Osei-Owusu filed a writ at the Supreme Court, invoking its original jurisdiction under the 1992 Constitution to declare the President’s actions unconstitutional.
This follows a similar application by Old Tafo MP, Vincent Ekow Assafuah.
With the Attorney-General, the government’s chief legal advisor, now formally served, the President’s consultation with the Council of State must pause until the injunction is determined on April 2, 2025.
Proceeding despite the injunction could lead to a contempt charge, which itself could be grounds for the President’s removal under Article 69 of the Constitution.
