Ghanaian media figure Nana Aba Anamoah criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for its demonstrations against the temporary removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo by revealing what she believes are the party’s contradictory actions.
Anamoah used her X platform on May 6, 2025, to ask why the NPP had remained silent during the 2018 removal of Charlotte Osei from her role as Electoral Commission Chairperson.
Through social media, Anamoah criticized the NPP while charging them with having contradictory positions regarding institutional fairness.
She committed her words to paper, saying, “At the time your cousin Charlotte Osei efficiently led the EC but you stayed silent when she faced unjust removal as Chairperson.”
Nipa nua ne nipa. Every institution must be protected.”
The controversy about the 2018 removal of Charlotte Osei served as her basis for making these statements.
A National Democratic Congress government appointed Mrs Charlotte Osei, but the NPP dismissed her along with two of her deputies because of purported procurement violations and administrative misconduct.
Critics viewed the NPP administration’s removal of Charlotte Osei as a political attack, while many others, including Anamoah, argued it violated the constitution.

Protests led by the NPP have erupted following the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo because the party believes political forces have intruded on judicial independence.
Three petitions against the Chief Justice triggered President John Mahama to suspend her until an inquiry could be conducted. Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie serves as the acting Chief Justice while Torkornoo’s suspension continues.
Renowned public figure Nana Aba Anamoah expressed her mounting exasperation regarding what she saw as NPP double standards through her criticisms of the party’s actions.
The NPP should not protest Torkornoo’s suspension since they failed to voice opposition when Charlotte Osei was removed, according to Anamoah.
Institutions such as the judiciary need protection from political interference.
The critique from Anamoah started a nationwide discussion about institutional protection alongside fairness and consistency in Ghana’s political sphere.
