Most people in Ghana want to see Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo removed from her job. Mussa Dankwah from Global InfoAnalytics shared this information on TV last Saturday. Their research shows 52% of people support removing her, even without knowing exactly what she did wrong. About 20% think she should stay, 18% feel neutral about it, and the rest have no opinion. President Mahama sent three petitions to the Council of State asking for her removal as allowed by the constitution.
NPP leader Richard Ahiagbah believes President Mahama has hidden reasons for wanting the Chief Justice gone. He thinks Mahama wants to put someone he likes in that position to help fire Electoral Commission leaders Jean Mensa and Bossman Asare. Ahiagbah said the President had already received papers requesting EC officials be dismissed before anyone asked about the Chief Justice. The NPP spokesperson made these claims during a TV show appearance that same day.
