Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has requested President Akufo-Addo to nominate five judges to the Supreme Court.
Among the nominees is Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botchwey, who is currently presiding over the Ato Forson trial.
The other judges recommended are Justice Afia Asare Botwe, Justice Cyra Pamela Koranteng, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, Justice Eric Kyei Baffuor, and Justice Angelina Mensah Homiah.
In a letter dated May 30, Chief Justice Torkornoo highlighted that Justice Asante's term at the ECOWAS Court, which ended on July 31, 2022, was extended due to the withdrawal of Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso from the community, with his tenure now expected to end in 2026 or earlier.
