The Ghana Union Movement (GUM) has made it clear that it is not involved in a planned protest against the suspension of the Chief Justice.
Speaking to 3News, GUM’s General Secretary, Anthony Arhinful, said the party does not support the protest and did not send anyone to represent it.
“The Ghana Union Movement does not support the demonstration against the Chief Justice’s suspension,” Arhinful stated. He explained that the party believes President John Dramani Mahama followed the Constitution in suspending the Chief Justice.
“We believe the President acted according to the law and did nothing wrong,” he added.
There were claims that a GUM official was helping to organize the protest. However, Arhinful clarified that their Communication Officer, Frank Owusu Frimpong, was invited by the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) to a meeting in his personal capacity, not as a GUM representative.
“Our communication officer was called personally, not as an official of GUM,” Arhinful stressed. He asked the public not to mistake Frimpong’s personal visit as GUM’s endorsement of the protest.
On April 26, 2025, GUM released a statement reminding all its members not to take part in any protest linked to the Chief Justice’s suspension. The party said it remains committed to democracy and the rule of law.
GUM also urged the public and the media to ignore any news linking the party to the protest, calling such reports “of no legitimate value.”
