Professor Ransford Gyampo has criticised the Minority in Parliament for boycotting the vetting of Supreme Court nominees, saying the move shows that Ghana’s democracy is not making enough progress.

“We are not maturing. We are not growing our democracy, and our democratic maturity will remain slow,” the CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority said on TV3’s Key Points.

His comments followed the Minority’s decision to walk out of the vetting process on August 27, 2026.

Led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Caucus protested the legality of the process, arguing that the Majority was abusing its numbers and failing to follow Parliament’s Standing Orders.

The caucus therefore refused to participate in the vetting of the Supreme Court nominees, citing what it described as breaches of parliamentary procedure.

Gyampo, however, said such developments were slowing Ghana’s progress in building a mature democracy.
