The National Democratic Congress (NDC) began a nationwide demonstration in the early hours of Tuesday, September 17, to express their dissatisfaction with discrepancies in the provisional voters register.
The party has voiced serious concerns about the credibility of the register, arguing that it could undermine the integrity of the upcoming December 7 general elections.
The protest, themed "Enough is Enough," was led by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Members of Parliament of the NDC, and supporters of the NDC, who marched to oppose the Electoral Commission's (EC) refusal to allow a forensic audit of the voters register.
The demonstrations took place along approved routes across all 16 regions of Ghana, with protesters dressed in the party's colours, holding placards with inscriptions like "Audit the Voters Register Now," "EC Must Serve the People Not the Corrupt NPP," and "Peace Council Must Speak Up Now," amongst others.
The Ghana Police Service was on the ground to provide security and prevent any form of violence.
Myjoyonline's photojournalist David Andoh and Adomonline's Joseph Odote were on the ground with the demonstrators and captured these photos.
