A leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has reacted to comments made by former President John Dramani Mahama against the Judiciary, describing them as ‘politicized’. Addressing the US Chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Bentley University over the weekend, John Mahama said governance institutions including the judiciary have been politicised and must therefore undergo reforms. It is only in Ghana that a Supreme Court will make a decision that a birth certificate is not proof of citizenship,” he said. John Mahama, who filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the 2020 election results lost unanimously. Felix Kwakye Ofosu, an aide to John Mahama, has in recent times also opined that the Judiciary has borne hostility towards the NDC.
