The five are; Her Ladyship Justice Angelina Mensah-Homiah, His Lordship Justice Eric Kyei Baffour, His Lordship Justice Edward Amoako Asante, Her Ladyship Justice Cyra Pamela C.A. Koranteng, and Her Ladyship Justice Afia Asare Botwe.

In a letter written to the President of the Republic, the Chief Justice indicates that Justice Asante’s term at the ECOWAS Court ended on July 31, 2024, and has since been requested to remain at the post on account of the withdrawal of Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso from the community.

It further states that his current tenure is expected to end in 2026 or earlier when he is expected to return to Ghana’s Judiciary.
