The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has received the greenlight from the police to proceed with its planned demonstration on September 17th.
The demonstration is aimed at protesting the identified discrepancies in the voter register, which the NDC claims could compromise the integrity of the electoral process. The police approval comes after the NDC submitted a formal request to demonstrate, as required by law.
According to sources, the police have given the NDC the nod to go ahead with the demonstration, provided they adhere to the agreed-upon route and timelines.
The NDC has expressed its intention to use the demonstration to draw attention to the discrepancies in the voter register, which they believe must be addressed before the elections.
The party claims that the current state of the voter register could lead to chaos and disputes during the elections, and is therefore demanding that the Electoral Commission takes immediate action to rectify the situation.
The demonstration is expected to bring together NDC supporters and sympathizers from across the country, who will march through the streets of Accra to express their concerns.
The NDC has assured the police that the demonstration will be peaceful and will not disrupt the normal flow of traffic or business activities in the city.
The police have also assured the public that they will provide adequate security to ensure the safety of participants and prevent any potential clashes.
The demonstration on September 17th is expected to be a significant event in the lead-up to the elections, as it highlights the NDC’s concerns about the voter register and its determination to ensure a free and fair electoral process.
