Enough is Enough Demo: None Injured in Kumasi- Police
The Ghana Police Service has discredited media reports about the injury of a participant in the National Democratic Congress’ “Enough is Enough” Demonstration in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
In a brief statement, the police confirmed a confrontation with some of the protesters but noted that there was no shooting incident or injury.
“The Ghana Police Service wishes to state that there has been no shooting incident at the Kumasi office of the Electoral Commission and no demonstrator has been injured by the Police.”
Narrating the series of events that culminated in the confrontation, the Service said, “Some demonstrators who went against the agreed arrangement by forcing their way into the compound of the EC office were restrained.”
Meanwhile, it has urged the media to be circumspect in their reportage.
Protest
Under what is called “Enough is Enough Demo”, the NDC has hit the streets of the regional capitals of Ghana today, September 17 to demand a forensic audit of the country’s electoral roll.
The opposition party has long flagged the register as “unfit for purpose” arguing the roll is full of errors and is certain the audit will answer all their questions.
According to the country’s largest opposition party, their demand for the audit is non-negotiable and essential for safeguarding the credibility of Ghana’s electoral process.
