New Leaders of Law Students Network Get New Executives

Newly elected executives of the Law Students Network (LSN), an association of law students of the Ghana School of Law (GSL), who identify with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been sworn into office to steer the affairs of the Network over the next year (2025/2026 academic year).
The new executives were sworn in at the ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE of the LSN held at UPSA campus in Accra on Saturday, 13 December 2025, under the theme, “Holding Together, Building Together, and Winning Together, A Brighter Future for Young Patriots.”

Be courageous

Speaking at the event, Kow Essuman, the Special guest of honour at the ceremony and former counsel to President Akufo-Addo, urged the leadership of the law student body to be courageous and principled as they go about their studies and duties. He also charged the new LSN leadership to build the credibility of the network and, as students, endeavour to build scholarship.
He called on the LSN leadership to organise programmes and invite the lawyers in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to come and speak to the student body. Essuman pointed out that the LSN needs to “use” the NPP lawyers and do so effectively. He also urged the student body to be mindful of their conduct both in and outside the classroom.
“I wish the new executives well, I wish the LSN well, and I pray that there will be so many more engagements for us to build a network, connect, and get to know each other better,” Kow Essuman said.

New direction

Gyasi Kwaku Abraham, the newly sworn-in Convenor, in his address, noted that in the academic year ahead, “the LSN promises to organise free tutorials for both Part One and Part Two students, starting from January 2026.

“We are also planning to organise a second edition of our Leadership and Law Series in March, as well as a symposium to assess the performance of the government over the course of the year,” Gyasi Kwaku Abraham said.

Persecution of former appointees
Gyasi Kwaku Abraham, in his statement, articulated the position of the LSN on some key national issues. He reiterated LSN’s position on the government’s weaponisation of bail conditions against former government functionaries and called for an immediate end to state-sponsored persecution.
“We are vehemently against the clandestine actions by the government to establish a supreme leader in the country by going after statutory bodies and replacing their heads with puppets of the government.
“We are further against the clandestine plans by the government to scrap the only truly independent anti-corruption body, the Office of the Special Prosecutor, and subsume its role under the partisan Attorney-General’s Office, which has been rendered virtually an appendage of the NDC headquarters by the current Attorney-General,” the LSN Convenor said.
“We call on the government to publicly commit to abiding by every court directive that will emanate from the ongoing litigation over the unlawful handing of the Venerable Gertrude Torkornoo from office as Chief Justice.
The newly sworn in executives are Gyasi Kwaku Abraham, Convenor; Osei Samuel Mireku, Deputy Convenor; Sisey Seidu Ibrahim, Secretary; Jake Kweku Eyison, Finance Officer; Appiah Ama Atta, Welfare Coordinator; Michael Obiri-Adjei and Ankomah-Oware Sylvester Leslie, Programs Coordinators; A.
