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. Demonstrators assembled early Monday at a designated car park opposite the Supreme Court, preparing to march through major streets in the capital. The coalition, which includes the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), and the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), says the suspension threatens judicial independence and Ghana’s democratic system.
According to the organisers, the protest seeks to defend the judiciary and denounce what they describe as an unconstitutional and politically motivated action. In addition to the street march, protest leaders plan to deliver formal petitions to Parliament and the Office of the President, urging a reversal of the decision and stronger protections for judicial autonomy.
