Let the Constitution be your compass - Mahama to new Supreme Court justices

President John Dramani Mahama has urged three newly sworn-in Supreme Court justices to let the Constitution guide their decisions and remain steadfast in the face of political pressure. He said the justices would be called upon to determine cases involving competing political interests and strong public sentiments, requiring them to remain independent and focused on the law. Let the Constitution remain your compass, President Mahama told the justices at their swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, September 10, 2026. He urged them not to allow the individuals, governments or institutions appearing before the Court to sway their judgment, stressing that fidelity to the Constitution is the surest guarantee of justice.
