The Supreme Court(SC) of Ghana is set to hear an injunction application filed by Mr. Vincent Assafuah on April 2, seeking to restrain President John Dramani Mahama from proceeding with petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

Mr Assafuah, a Member of Parliament for Old Tafo in the Ashanti Region, is challenging the legitimacy of the petitions, arguing that any attempt by the President to act on them would undermine judicial independence and constitutional provisions.

The case has generated significant public interest, as it raises concerns over the separation of powers and the extent of Executive influence on the Judiciary.

Legal analysts and political observers are closely monitoring the proceedings, which could set a precedent for future judicial appointments and removals in Ghana.

 

The Supreme Court's ruling on the injunction is expected to shape the next steps in the unfolding legal and political debate.
