The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has initiated a nationwide demonstration today, Tuesday, September 17, in response to the Electoral Commission’s (EC) refusal to permit a forensic audit of the voter's register.
The protest is currently taking place at the approved routes across all 16 regions of Ghana.
The demonstration, announced by party chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah on September 16, 2024, is driven by the NDC’s concerns over alleged discrepancies in the voter's register.
The party has raised serious doubts about the credibility of the register, which they argue could compromise the integrity of the December 7 elections.
Dr Edward Omane Boamah, the party's Director of Elections in a Facebook post claims that the current register is "unfit for purpose" and calls for a forensic audit or thorough parliamentary investigation to address what he describes as "incurably defective" anomalies.
According to the party, a forensic audit is essential to ensure a fair and credible electoral process, and to address any public concerns about the accuracy of the voter's register.
The flagbearer of the party John Mahama stated that the event would be peaceful, urging participants to refrain from any acts of violence.
“This is a peaceful demonstration. It is not a violent demonstration. It is a peaceful demonstration. And so if you know you cannot be peaceful, don’t come. We want only the people of peace to join us,” he said.
