Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has met the deadline to respond to petitions seeking her removal from office, delivering her reply to President John Dramani Mahama and the Council of State ahead of the April 7, 2025 cut-off date.

This comes after the President granted her a 10-day window to react to formal complaints filed against her.

Sources confirm that the Chief Justice complied in time, setting the stage for the Council of State to begin its assessment of the matter.

While the contents of the petitions and her response remain under wraps, the submission represents a crucial turning point in a process that could potentially trigger constitutional proceedings.
