The Spokesperson for the Movement for Change, Andrew Appiah Danquah, has accused both the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo of acting out of personal interest in the ongoing controversy surrounding her potential removal from office.

Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, June 28, 2025, Mr. Danquah condemned what he described as a pattern of selective legal arguments and parochialism within the NPP, as well as what he viewed as self-serving conduct by the Chief Justice.

“The argument the NPP is making now, they ought to have made those arguments in 2017 when Charlotte Osei was being removed from office with this same Article 146,” he stated.

“What is clear is that the spirit of parochialism—what is in my personal interest—is what has befallen the NPP, and the same is fueling the Chief Justice. She is fighting for herself; it is not about us.”

Mr. Danquah emphasised that power belongs to the people and urged those in authority to act with the public’s interest at heart.

“When the people we put in leadership are using power, it is for us, because sovereign power emanates from the people,” he said. “Those who have been trusted with that power must use it in the ultimate interest of the people.”

He further criticised the opposition, accusing them of using the impeachment process for political point-scoring rather than defending constitutional values.

“The opposition in this process is not fighting for the country,” he lamented. “I am very disappointed that they want to find a way of putting this on the President, when Nana Addo at the time said he was just a conveyor belt.”
