The Minority Leader, , has criticised President 's nomination of seven Court of Appeal judges to the Supreme Court, describing it as a strategic move to pave the way for a third term.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, May 1, 2025, Afenyo-Markin cautioned that the move could undermine the independence of the judiciary. "This government must tread with the greatest caution, always keeping tomorrow in mind when taking decisions today, because these decisions may shape future governance.
If we continue down this path, we risk creating a culture of retaliatory politics, where successive governments are more focused on settling political scores than solving national problems," he warned. "It is obvious that Mr.
President's bold attempt to nominate, out of the blue, seven judges to the Supreme Court is the first major step in what appears to be a rehearsed third-term agenda," he alleged.
