Actress Yvonne Nelson has urged policy think tank IMANI Africa to organise a protest against the Akufo-Addo-led government regarding the ongoing erratic power supply, commonly referred to as "dumsor." 

This call comes amidst recent intermittent power outages, prompting demands from many Ghanaians for a load-shedding timetable from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

In a post on X on Monday, 22 April 2024, Ms. Nelson expressed her anticipation for IMANI's involvement in the vigil, reminiscent of the organisation's participation in a similar event in 2015. 

She criticised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing them of taking the country for granted and emphasising that such neglect should not be tolerated any longer.

Ms. Nelson wrote: "Imani Ghana, can we organise another vigil? I've been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. (your team made our demo a success) I'm reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted."

The year 2015 saw severe power cuts in Ghana, leading to widespread frustration among citizens.

The actress spearheaded a massive protest against the John Mahama-led-government over the erratic power supply. 

IMANI Ghana, a renowned policy think tank, played a significant role in the success of the 2015 protest.

Their involvement helped mobilise support for the cause, uniting numerous Ghanaian celebrities and citizens affected by the power cuts. 

The 2015 vigil shed light on the impact of power cuts on daily life in Ghana and provided a platform for citizens to voice their discontent with the situation.
