The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwabena Afenyo-Markin, has assured former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo that she will be reinstated if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) returns to power in 2028.

Speaking at the NPP's "Save the Judiciary" demonstration in Accra on August 6, 2026, the Minority Leader told Torkornoo not to be "saddened" by her removal from office.

"Let me tell the former Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, that she should not be sad. When the NPP returns to power under Bawumia, she will be reinstated as Chief Justice," he said.

The Member of Parliament for Effutu also urged party faithful to work hard to win the 2028 general election.

"Whether the NDC likes it or not, the NPP will assume power in 2028. If you are an NPP member, work hard so that power returns to the party," he stated.

Torkornoo was removed from her position as Chief Justice following a recommendation by a committee set up to probe petitions that cited her for stated misbehaviour.

The committee found that her travel expenses for private trips constituted a misuse of public funds and that her actions violated constitutional articles regarding judicial appointments.
