*CJ cannot act as president under 1992 Constitution – Justice Adjei declares* Supreme Court nominee Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei has dismissed claims that Ghana’s Chief Justice can lawfully assume presidential duties in the absence of both the President and Vice-President, calling such interpretations outdated and inconsistent with the 1992 Constitution. Speaking during his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, June 16, Justice Adjei strongly rejected legal opinions suggesting that the Chief Justice could step in as acting President under constitutional provisions, labeling the argument “a relic of the past.” https://dennislawnews.com/article/cj-cannot-act-as-president-under-1992-constitution---justice-adjei-declares
