Minority announces imminent commencement of impeachment processes against Akufo-Addo

The Minority in Parliament has declared its plan to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Akufo-Addo. This decision stems from his refusal to sign the contentious Anti-LGBTQI+ Bill, formally known as the Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Value Bill.

The NDC MPs argue that President Akufo-Addo’s actions violate the 1992 Constitution and undermine the principle of separation of powers.

They contend that these actions constitute ample grounds for impeachment, showcasing a disregard for the rule of law.

Addressing the media in Parliament on Wednesday, March 20, Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson affirmed their preparedness to initiate the impeachment process to oust the President from office.

Dr. Ato Forson additionally urged Ghanaians not to be astonished if such steps are promptly taken in the nation’s best interests.

“We stand with the Speaker of Parliament in this. Let the President of Ghana and his government be aware that where this country is going is strange under his watch and the NDC Minority will not countenance it.

“But I want to end that it is obvious that the President has breached the constitution and we will advise ourselves. In the coming days, don’t be surprised that we will begin impeachment proceedings against the President,” he said.
