The Minority Caucus in Parliament on Thursday boycotted the vetting of three nominees nominated for consideration for appointment to Ghana’s Supreme Court bench.
The Minority in Parliament had called for the postponement of the vetting exercise involving the three Supreme Court nominees, which was scheduled for Thursday, August 27, 2026.
The nominees were expected to undergo parliamentary vetting as part of the process for their possible appointment to Ghana’s highest court. However, the Minority Caucus declined to participate after its request for the exercise to be postponed.
The development has brought renewed attention to Ghana’s Supreme Court appointments, the parliamentary vetting process, and the role of Parliament in the approval of judicial nominees.
