We’re Prepared for NDC Demo- Police

The Ghana Police Service has conveyed its readiness to deliver and provide optimum security to all participants in the planned National Democratic Congress (NDC) demonstration, which is currently ongoing across the country.

In a statement released by the police, it said it had productively and extensively engaged the organisers of the protest and the Electoral Commission (EC).

Additionally, it said it had lectured organisers about the Public Oder Act, 1994 (Act 491), which is the law that govern organisers of protests in the country.

“The organizers have also been informed of their duty to abide by all other laws since they will be held responsible for any breaches. We would like to urge the organizers and all participants in the demonstration to adhere to these arrangements and ensure full compliance with all laws and regulations.

“We would also like to once again assure the public that the Police will ensure the maintenance of security, law, and order throughout the period of the exercise and beyond.”

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.
