The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has declared its support for the President’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice, describing the action as constitutionally sound and in line with due process.
In a statement signed by PPP Chairman Nana Ofori Owusu, the party said the suspension was carried out in accordance with Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, following advice from the Council of State and a prima facie determination by the President.
The party emphasized that the Chief Justice was also given an opportunity to respond to the allegations against her.
“We believe the President acted within the bounds of the Constitution and upheld the principles of rule of law and respect for human rights,” the statement noted.
The PPP, however, expressed concern over the Ghana Bar Association’s (GBA) call for the reversal of the suspension, describing it as “perplexing” and potentially undermining constitutional procedures.
“Such calls could be interpreted as an attempt to suspend due process itself,” the party warned.
The PPP urged all stakeholders to remain calm and allow the legal process to proceed without interference, adding that accountability must apply to all arms of government, including the judiciary.
