Mahama urges supporters to protest at EC offices over voter roll discrepancies Sept. 17
The flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on party supporters to stage nationwide protests at the offices of the Electoral Commission (EC) on Tuesday, 17 September 2024.
The demonstrations are in response to alleged discrepancies in the voter register, which the NDC argues could undermine the credibility of the upcoming 2024 general elections.
The announcement came during a press briefing following the filing of Mr Mahama's nomination for the presidential race.
Addressing supporters in Sampa, Jaman North District of the Bono Region, Mr Mahama stressed the need for accountability and transparency from the EC.
“If we desire free, fair, and peaceful elections, then the EC must up their game and do things right. So on the 17th of this month [September], NDC is going to demonstrate in every town that has an EC office. Our chairman [Johnson Asiedu Nketiah] has announced it,” Mr Mahama declared.
He encouraged supporters to participate actively in the planned protests, urging, “NDC [supporters], you wear your t-shirts, and you go and demonstrate at the EC office so that we can put pressure on them to do their job and do what they have to do to ensure a peaceful and transparent election.”
