The Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has ruled that there is no prima facie evidence to justify further investigation into petitions calling for the removal of the Electoral Commissioner, her deputies, and the Special Prosecutor.
This was confirmed by the Minister of Government Communications in a statement issued on Wednesday, February 18.

The petitions were received by Jubilee House in late 2025, with the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, confirming that ten separate petitions had been filed under the constitutional removal process.
Seven of these targeted EC Chair Jean Mensa and her two deputies, Dr Bossman Eric Asare and Samuel Tettey, while three sought the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng. These petitions were duly referred to Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie for preliminary constitutional scrutiny as required under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.
