Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, the Acting Chief Justice nominee, is set to face the Appointments Committee of Parliament today, Monday, November 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Parliament House in Accra. This follows his nomination by President John Dramani Mahama to replace dismissed Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
This was confirmed in an official notice issued by David Sebastian Damoah, Director of Media Relations at Parliament.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s nomination comes after the dismissal of Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, who had served as Chief Justice since 2023. The session will allow Members of Parliament to evaluate his qualifications, judicial philosophy, and vision for Ghana’s justice system before making a recommendation to the House for approval.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, on Friday, November 7, dismissed a motion by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin seeking to halt the vetting process until pending court cases involving the former Chief Justice are resolved.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin had argued that Parliament should defer the exercise, citing constitutional and procedural grounds, to avoid interfering in ongoing judicial proceedings.
