President came under intense scrutiny by a section of the public after his nomination of seven justices to the apex court of the land - the Supreme Court.
Many of these critics accused the president of hypocrisy, arguing that his nominations contradict his own pronouncements on capping the number of justices at the Supreme Court.
These critics have referred to Mahama's remarks at a campaign event before the 2024 general election, where he lambasted Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo for nominating some justices for appointment to the Supreme Court by then-President .
A video clip from the event showed Mahama raising serious concerns about the attempt to appoint more justices to the highest court of the land, as well as the procedure process being used.
