All Seven Supreme Court Appointees Approved By Parliament
Parliament has approved all seven Supreme Court nominees appointed by President John Dramani Mahama, despite strong opposition from the Minority caucus.
The approval came after a heated debate and a voice vote in which the NDC Majority prevailed, following the presentation of the Appointments Committee’s final report.
The Minority argued that the appointments were inappropriate in light of the recent suspension of the Chief Justice and raised concerns over potential constitutional violations. They also criticized the Supreme Court for what they described as its silence in the face of the ongoing controversy.

Additionally, the Minority expressed dissatisfaction with how their objections were handled in the committee’s report, insisting that their disapproval of all seven nominees was unanimous and on record.
“All Minority members opposed and voted against the nomination of the seven judges,” they stated. “A recording of the meeting will confirm that every Minority member said no.”
Despite the resistance, the Majority’s endorsement secured the approval of the following nominees:
-
Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei
-
Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh
-
Justice Senyo Dzamefe
-
Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo
-
Justice Philip Bright Mensah
-
Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo
-
Justice Hafisata Amaleboba
The newly approved justices now await their official swearing-in by President Mahama.
