The Progressive People's Party (PPP) has declared its support for President 's decision to suspend the Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo, stating that the move aligns with constitutional provisions and due process.
In a press release issued on Monday, April 28, 2025, and signed by the party's chairman, Nana Ofori Owusu, the PPP affirmed its belief that the President's action was both lawful and procedurally sound, executed under the 1992 Constitution. "The suspension, as executed by the President, was lawful and in full compliance with the due process of law as enshrined in our 1992 Constitution," the statement read.
The PPP explained that the President's decision followed a prima facie determination of misconduct, made in consultation with the Council of State, as required under Article 146 of the Constitution.
The party also confirmed that the Chief Justice had been allowed to respond to the allegations before the suspension was effected, which they described as evidence of the President's adherence to the rule of law and human rights.
