Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, is calling for the impeachment of President Akufo-Addo over the President’s refusal to assent to the “Witchcraft Bill” and alleged violation of the 1992 Constitution.

Ayariga argues that the President missed the opportunity to object to the bill before Parliament passed it, and once it is passed, the President cannot unilaterally decide not to assent but should instead take the matter to the Supreme Court.

Following the Speaker’s ruling, Ayariga has called on Parliament to initiate impeachment proceedings against the President, emphasizing that this is the appropriate time to trigger constitutional provisions for impeachment since the President has allegedly violated the Constitution.

President Akufo-Addo’s refusal to sign into law three bills passed by Parliament has sparked controversy, with Ayariga advocating for constitutional consequences for the President’s actions.
