Mahama Nominates Seven Supreme Court Justices
President John Dramani Mahama has nominated seven Court of Appeal judges for the Supreme Court.
A letter by the Secretary of the President, Callistus Mahama, dated April 29, 2025, urged the Judicial Council to consider the nominees for the appointment.
He noted that the nomination is in accordance with Article 144(2) of the Constitution of Ghana 1992.
“His Excellency the President has nominated the following Justices of the Court of Appeal to be considered for appointment to the Supreme Court.”
He further encouraged the Council to expedite consideration processes.
The seven include Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, Justice Senyo Dzamefe, Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, Justice Philip Bright Mensah, Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo and Justice Hafisata Amaleboba.
If all nominees are approved, the SC will have 19 justices.
This move has been widely criticized by the public.
