Today, the NDC is holding a statewide “Enough is Enough” rally against EC.

Today, Tuesday, September 17, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will stage a nationwide protest against the Electoral Commission (EC). The NDC claims that the EC has refused to permit a forensic audit of the voters register in advance of the December elections, citing several anomalies, including the illegal but widespread transfer of votes in multiple locations. The EC maintains that all necessary corrections in the register have been made after it has exhibited the provisional register, explaining that the purpose of exhibiting the register as required by law (C.I. 91 (as amended by C.I. 126)) is to assist with corrections.

The NDC’s national chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah announced this protest on Monday, September 9, citing the party’s concerns over the EC’s handling of the election process.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with what he said is the lack of updates on investigations involving the theft of some Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs), raising suspicions about transparency.

“Those of you who have been asking us what we would do if they did not comply, this is your answer: on the 17th of this month, the NDC is embarking on a massive nationwide demonstration in all 16 regional capitals,” he said.

In preparation for the demonstration, the Ghana Police Service has outlined guidelines to ensure order and safety.

They emphasised the need for peaceful protests, requesting that demonstrators follow designated routes and timelines.

The police also warned against any form of violence or property destruction during the demonstration, stating that offenders would face consequences, including potential surcharges for damage.
