Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has submitted her official response to the petitions calling for her removal from office, meeting the deadline set by President John Dramani Mahama.
Reliable sources confirm that her written reply was delivered to both the President and the Council of State ahead of the April 7, 2025 cutoff. The submission comes within the 10-day period granted by the President following the formal filing of the petitions.
With her response now on record, the Council of State will begin its review to determine whether there are valid grounds to proceed with the case.
Details of the allegations against the Chief Justice—as well as the contents of her response—have not been made public.
This latest development sets the stage for a potentially significant constitutional review, with attention now focused on the Council of State’s next steps.
