A coalition of political parties, led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), will stage a protest today, Monday, May 5, in Accra over what the NPP describes as a politically motivated attack on judicial independence following the suspension of Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.
The demonstration will see members and supporters of the NPP and its allied parties march through key streets of the capital.
Joining the protest are the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), People's National Party (PNP), and Ghana Union Movement (GUM), among others.
According to the NPP, the Chief Justice's suspension represents a "calculated and dangerous interference" in the judiciary by actors affiliated with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
