The Chief Justice of Ghana, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has ruled that petitions seeking the removal of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, her Deputies, and the Special Prosecutor do not disclose a prima facie case.
President John Dramani Mahama had referred a total of ten petitions to the Chief Justice on November 25, 2025, following submissions from individuals and groups calling for the removal of the officials.
The petitions included seven against the Electoral Commission leadership and three against the Special Prosecutor.
In a letter to the President dated January 26, 2026, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie stated that the petitions did not establish sufficient grounds to warrant further investigations.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister and Spokesperson to the President, confirmed the decision, noting that no action will be taken based on the petitions.
