Former NPP National Chairman, Freddie Blay has responded to ex-President John Mahama's claims that Nana Akufo-Addo appointed NPP-leaning judges.

Blay cited the NDC's historical judicial appointments and stated that Mahama lacks the moral authority to accuse Akufo-Addo. Mahama had suggested appointing NDC-aligned judges if elected in 2024.

Blay pointed out that NDC members have previously moved into judicial roles, making Mahama's allegations unfounded. He emphasized that he has been active in politics for a significant period.

I was in parliament when somebody who was a member of parliament for the NDC after he was butchered out of parliament, he applied and he joined the judiciary, he is still a member of the NDC,” he said.

The former National Chairman also cited examples of judges he believes hold affiliations with the NDC, suggesting that the practice is not unique to the NPP.“There is a Dormaa High Court judge, solidly, he speaks for the NDC.

All his utterances indicate that he supports the NDC.“That is not all, I knew a man who is now on retirement.

I don’t want to mention names here,” he stated. For him, there are many Ghanaians with strong moral standing who have sought positions within the judiciary.“I am saying that there are quite a number of individuals, Ghanaians, who have indicated that they want to enter the bar.

They are not criminals, they are people of integrity based on which they have been promoted to the bench,” he added.
