Mahama Forwards 10 Removal Petitions to Chief Justice

President John Dramani Mahama has received 10 petitions seeking the removal of top officials from two key public institutions the Electoral Commission (EC) and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

Seven petitions target EC Chairperson Jean Mensa and her deputies, Dr. Bossman Eric Asare and Samuel Tettey. The remaining three call for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.

Graphic Online’s Emmanuel Ebo Hawkson reports that all petitions have been submitted to Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie for consideration.

Under Article 70(2) of the Constitution, the President appoints the EC’s leadership on the advice of the Council of State, and any move to remove them must follow established constitutional procedures.

This development signals a significant moment for accountability and governance within two of Ghana’s most crucial state institutions.
