Photos: NDC Stages Nationwide ‘Enough Is Enough’ Protest Against EC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) protest against the Electoral Commission (EC) is set to come off today, Tuesday, September 17.

The leadership of the NDC ordered all its regional offices to protest after raising concerns over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register.

NDC raised concerns when it was furnished with the provisional voters register, stating there were a lot of discrepancies, including bloating of the electoral role in some of the polling stations, which it said formed parts of the EC’s attempts to rig the December 7 polls to favour the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Chairman of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah therefore called for a nationwide protest during a campaign rally.

The party is also calling for a forensic audit of the register, which it said will enhance the credibility of the upcoming general elections.

The Ghana Police Service also reassured the public that the police were fully equipped to provide security throughout the demonstration during a press conference on Monday, September 16.

Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mustapha Gbande, told the host of Eyewitness News on Citi FM, Umaru Sanda Amadu on Monday that the party is fully prepared for the protest and added that any recalcitrant demonstrator who would attend the protest to cause trouble will be dealt with.

The National Communications Director of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, told Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday that the EC should simply permit a “forensic audit of the voters register if they have nothing to hide.”

EC, however, insists that there is no need for a forensic audit as the issues the NDC is raising are normal occurrences that will be resolved before election day.
