The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended its nationwide “Thank You Tour” to participate in a major protest called the “Save the Judiciary Demo,” set for May 5, 2025.
The demonstration is being organised by a coalition of five political parties in response to President John Mahama’s suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
The parties argue that the President’s action threatens the independence of the judiciary.
Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, the NPP’s National Organiser, told Asaase News that the protest is a national duty and takes precedence over party activities. He said the NPP wants to send a strong message to the government.
“This is not just a political issue. We are standing up for all Ghanaians and protecting our democracy,” he said.
Nana Boakye also noted that it was encouraging to see the Minority in Parliament support the protest, adding that a united voice would send a clear signal to the government.
