The General Secretary of the (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has hinted that the pending removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkornoo is linked to alleged plans to enable President to contest for a third presidential term.

He says discussions around this matter are already circulating and will soon become public knowledge.

Speaking in an interview on Peace FM's Kokrokoo on April 24, 2025, he explained that the argument revolves around Article 66(2) of the Constitution, with some individuals allegedly planning to interpret it in a way that suggests the two-term limit applies only to two successive terms.

This interpretation, he said, would pave the way for President Mahama to contest again. "I am telling you, certain people plan to interpret Article 66(2) of the Constitution to mean that the two-term limit refers to two successive terms.
