The Minority Caucus in Ghana’s Parliament has thrown its weight behind a nationwide protest set for May 5, 2025.
This demonstration, organized by a coalition of opposition and independent political groups, aims to challenge what they describe as an attack on Ghana’s constitutional democracy.
At the centre of the controversy is the suspension of the Chief Justice, which the Minority has termed unlawful.
They argue that this, along with the dismissal of public servants based on political affiliations, undermines judicial independence and national stability.
The Minority has framed the protest as a constitutional duty, urging citizens to unite in defense of democratic values. They warn that the current actions of the executive could lead the country down a dangerous path, threatening both professional integrity and economic justice.
The statement also highlights concerns over alleged plans to remove the Electoral Commission Chairperson and her deputies, which they believe could trigger a crisis of legitimacy.
In their call to action, the Minority emphasized that this is not about political rivalry but about safeguarding the principles of democracy.
They urged Ghanaians to rise as defenders of the Republic, stressing that the time to act is now.
