Mr Kwaky Ofosu in the Citi FM interview said the President had completed the steps assigned to him under the Constitution once the petitions reached Jubilee House.

He said the procedure was straightforward and left no further discretion to the President after transmission.

“Every process that needed to be done has been undertaken,” Mr Kwakye Ofosu said. “At this stage, the process has left the hands of the President beyond conveying the petitions to the Chief Justice."

Explaining, he said, one of the petitions, filed on October 20, 2025, by the Coalition for Integrity in Governance, accuses Mr Agyebeng of gross misbehaviour and requests a forensic audit into the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
