The Supreme Court of Ghana has dismissed an application filed by a Member of Parliament for Old Tafo and New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator, Hon. Ekow Vincent Assafuah, challenging the President’s suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
The court, by a 3-2 majority ruling, held that there was no legal basis to overturn the President’s decision, effectively putting to rest a constitutional showdown over the authority to temporarily suspend the nation’s top judicial officer.
