#FixTheCountry<\/a> Covenor Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, standing trial for treason felony, has said that Ghanaians will democratically show the New Patriotic Party (NPP) the exit door.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said Ghanaians are committed to the rule of law and democratic principles, emphasising that he is not interested in staging any coup.<\/p>\n

Mr. Barker-Vormawor also expressed dissatisfaction with his trial, which has lasted over the last two years.<\/p>\n

The much-anticipated hearing of the treason felony trial was adjourned to Monday, May 20.<\/p>\n

The case was expected to be heard by the High Court today, Monday, May 13,\u00a0 following a motion filed by lawyers for Barker-Vormawor seeking to challenge the constitutionality of the charge proffered against him.<\/p>\n

However, according to TV3\u2019s court reporter Laud Adu-Asare, when the case was called, a court clerk told parties present that the judge hearing the matter, Justice Mary Ekue Yanzuh, was absent and on another assignment, communicating the next adjourned date.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TV3 following the adjournment, Barker-Vormawor maintained that the unwarranted delay of the trial is a testament to the government\u2019s failure to find anything against him.<\/p>\n

Barker-Vormawor treason felony trial adjourned to May 20<\/a><\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come here it\u2019s been two years on trumped-up charges by the regime security but they have always insisted that I wanted to overthrow the republic or to overthrow this government. It is only an indictment of their own records. Their understanding is that they\u2019ve so badly led this country that every mindful citizen [and] every sane individual will want them out of office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to the rule of law and to the democracy we are subscribed to. Ghanaians will show them the way out, I have zero interest in engaging in a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose whose business it is to engage in coup d\u2019etat, if they do it, maybe Ghanaians will give them their support but as it stands now, we have always been clear that our advocacy is entitled to engineer for the rest of Ghanaians the justice that our democracy procures,\u201d he told TV3\u2019s Laud Adu-Asare.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed his utmost commitment to the court processes to ensure that the case against him is brought to a reasonable conclusion.<\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, Mr. Barker-Vormawor has hinted at a possible application for his trial to be telecast live for Ghanaians to follow.<\/p>\n

In a post<\/a> on X<\/strong>, he argued that the treason trial of the democratic institutions concerns the citizens just as the hearing of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill before the apex court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my lawyers have to apply for Live Broadcast in this matter too. If the Supreme Court says the Gay Bill proceedings should be live for our people to consume; then surely the Treason of their democracy concerns them,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
