The #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo was held on May 5
The New Patriotic Party (NPP), in collaboration with the Alliance of Political Parties, has expressed profound gratitude to Ghanaians for their overwhelming participation in the May 5, 2025, protest against President Mahama’s suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
According to the Alliance, the massive turnout reflects widespread discontent with the President’s actions, which motivated citizens to join the demonstration.
In a Facebook post, NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as ‘Nana B,’ conveyed the coalition’s appreciation following the protest.
“The massive turnout reflects widespread discontent with the President’s actions, seen as an assault on democracy and the judiciary,” he said.
“We commend the solidarity and commitment demonstrated by the people. Following this successful demonstration, we will outline our next steps in the coming days.” Nana B said.
The political parties that form the coalition are the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP) and the People’s National Party (PNP).
