Member of Parliament for Asutifi South, Collins Dauda, has lashed out at Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, calling him a “confused politician” following his criticism of the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo.
Afenyo-Markin had described the removal as unjust and questioned whether the constitutional process was properly followed, stating, “We are a mourning democracy… Is that the work of the Pwamang committee?”
Responding during a visit to a polling station in Akwatia on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, Mr. Dauda defended the President’s decision, insisting it was in line with constitutional provisions.
“The minority leader is a confused politician… He should cite a breach,” Dauda challenged.
He argued that the existence of multiple petitions did not require all to be resolved before action could be taken.
“There were three petitions, and you want us to wait for all three to end? The report is clear that she must be removed, and she has been removed by the president in accordance with the laid-down processes,” he said.
Dauda emphasized that President John Dramani Mahama acted lawfully and in accordance with his oath to uphold the constitution.
