- Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei
- Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh
- Justice Senyo Zamere
- Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo
- Justice Philip Bright Mensah
- Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo
- Justice Hafisata Amaleboba
The parliamentary vetting will be conducted by the Appointments Committee and is scheduled to run until Wednesday (18 June).
A statement from Parliament’s Media Relations Department said the vetting process will examine the nominees’ legal qualifications, judicial track records, and overall suitability to serve on Ghana’s apex court.
