The Movement for Change (M4C) has expressed support for the constitutional procedure surrounding the suspension of the Chief Justice, stressing the need to uphold justice and due process.
In a statement dated April 29, 2025, the movement stated, "As a movement rooted in the will of the people, we assert that the constitution of Ghana outlines how a Chief Justice could be removed under Article 146." It further emphasized that the President's action, guided by the Council of State and based on a prima facie case, followed proper constitutional steps. "The opportunity afforded the Chief Justice to respond to the allegations further demonstrates compliance with due process," the group added, backing the five-member committee handling the petition as a constitutionally grounded move.
M4C urged political parties, particularly the NPP and NDC, to avoid politicizing the issue and allow legal processes to unfold.
It also called for more transparency in future proceedings of this nature, saying, "We would have wished for a more transparent process." The group expressed dismay at the Ghana Bar Association's position, stating, "The movement has also observed with shock the position of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) calling on the President to suspend the suspension of the Chief Justice." M4C reaffirmed its commitment to defending Ghana's democratic framework.
