The Supreme Court of Ghana has adjourned indefinitely the hearing of an injunction application aimed at halting the ongoing process for the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.

IDEG Calls for 120-Day Limit on Election Dispute Rulings to Strengthen Ghana’s Democratic Processes

The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) has urged Ghana's Judiciary and Parliament to enact legislation mandating that all election-related disputes be resolved within 120 days.

Rationale Behind the 120-Day Limit IDEG's proposal stems from concerns that prolonged election dispute resolutions can undermine public confidence in democratic institutions and potentially destabilize the political landscape.

Proposed Legislative Framework The recommended legislation would require that: All election petitions and related legal challenges be filed within a specified period post-election. The Judiciary prioritizes these cases to ensure resolution within the 120-day window. Mechanisms be established to monitor compliance and address […]
