The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is confident that its demonstration against the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo will yield positive results.
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.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, the Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, declared that the protest scheduled for Monday, May 5, 2025, will shake the nation.
He reiterated the NPP’s concerns that the suspension undermines judicial independence and is a politically motivated move aimed at weakening the judiciary.
“NDC now wants to take their tendencies for dictatorship to a tyranny. This demonstration is going to shake Ghana. If not, we won’t back down until Ghanaians realise that they made a mistake with their vote in the 2024 election,” he stated.
Mr Ahiagbah noted that the demo will be led by the NPP Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, which is why he has taken a temporary break from the nationwide Thank You Tour.
The Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), and the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), among others, are also expected to be in attendance.
The conveners have announced that the demonstration will begin at 7 am from a park opposite the Supreme Court, proceed through Parliament House, and end at the Jubilee House, where the petition will be submitted to President Mahama or a representative.
