The PNP cannot stand idly by while President Mahama and the NDC attempt to hijack and dismantle one of Ghana’s last institutions of hope: the judiciary.
According to Mrs. Janet Anabla, flagbearer and leader of the People’s National Party (PNP), “This is not a partisan demonstration—it is a demonstration by the people.
President Mahama has already consolidated power over the executive and parliament.
Now, he appears intent on seizing control of the judiciary, as he vowed to a group of NDC-affiliated lawyers during his campaign.
His recent judicial appointments suggest a partisan motive—not a commitment to justice, but a strategy to further his party’s political agenda.
He has already appointed seven Supreme Court judges without any compelling national demand or constitutional justification.
These appointments appear to be a calculated response to the judicial selections made by former President Nanadu. This is not about balance—it is a blatant politicization of our justice system.
Even more concerning is the President’s disregard for due process.
When a petition was filed against the Chief Justice, he bypassed legal channels and rushed the matter to the Council of State, violating principles of natural justice.
When a court issued an injunction, he ignored it and proceeded to suspend the Chief Justice, openly defying judicial authority.
This is the behavior of a president who believes he is above the law.”
