A coalition of political parties led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has formally petitioned Parliament, urging the legislative body to intervene in the suspension of Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.
During the presentation of the petition, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin presented the petition, expressing concerns about the judiciary's independence.
He accused President Mahama of attempting to manipulate the judiciary for political gain, citing his recent nominations.
He warned that the next step would be the appointment of an NDC loyalist to head the Electoral Commission, alleging that intimidation is being used to secure an unfair advantage. "This is a dangerous coordinated attack on Ghana's constitutional democracy, and that is why we march today.
