A new nationwide survey by Global Info Analytics has found that a majority of Ghanaians approve of the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo by President John Mahama, amid ongoing investigations into petitions against her.
Key findings from the poll, nearly one month after the suspension, show 53% of voters support her suspension, while 20% oppose it. 12% of voters were neutral, and 15% did not have an opinion.
Again, when voters who opposed the suspension, were neutral or did not have an opinion were further asked to indicate their level of support or opposition for her removal if there is evidence that the Chief Justice has acted unlawfully, only 20% would now support her removal, now down from 30% in April.
However, 33% will still not support her removal, also down from 35% in April. 20% were neutral, up from 19% in April, while 27% still did not have an opinion, up from 16% in April.
