In a groundbreaking revelation that has sent shockwaves through the nation, a recent survey shows that a vast majority of Ghanaians are in full support of Chief Justice (CJ) in his bold decision to dismiss multiple petitions against the Electoral Commission (EC). This overwhelming backing from the public has sparked a fierce debate on the future of Ghana’s electoral integrity.
The survey, which gathered opinions from thousands of citizens across the country, reveals that more than 70% of Ghanaians agree with the CJ’s ruling, viewing it as a crucial step in protecting the sanctity of the electoral process and ensuring fairness in the face of political pressure. The move is seen as a resounding endorsement of the EC’s independence.
Political analysts are calling the public reaction a clear signal of confidence in the judiciary and the EC’s role in shaping the country’s democratic landscape. The survey results suggest that, despite significant opposition from political factions, the majority of the population believes the CJ made the right call in dismissing the petitions, which were widely viewed as unsubstantiated and politically motivated.
This major development raises critical questions about the political divide in the country and what it means for the upcoming election cycles. With public opinion squarely on the side of the CJ and EC, all eyes are now on Ghana’s democratic institutions to see how they handle the pressure moving forward.
