The Parliament of Ghana is considering the report of the Appointments Committee of the House on the vetting of Supreme Court Justice nominee, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, who is the Acting Chief Justice, was vetted by the committee on Monday, November 10, 2025.
This followed his nomination by President John Dramani Mahama on September 23, 2025.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie was called to the Bar in Ghana in 1983. He began his judicial career as a Circuit Court Judge in Kumasi and later served as a High Court Judge in Duayaw Nkwanta. He was appointed to the Court of Appeal in 2006.
In June 2008, then-President John Agyekum Kufuor appointed him as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ghana.
In 2013, he was part of the panel of Supreme Court judges that adjudicated the landmark election petition filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which sought to annul approximately four million votes from the 2012 general elections due to alleged irregularities. The petition was ultimately dismissed by the court.
