The Police in the Ashanti Region have secured a court order\u00a0restraining the National Democratic Congress from embarking on a demonstration exercise against the Electoral Commission\u2019s limited voter registration exercise.<\/p>\n
The NDC in the Ashanti Region had served notice of protesting over the EC\u2019s registration exercise on Monday, June 3, 2019.<\/p>\n
About one million Ghanaians according to the NDC would be disenfranchised if the EC is allowed to undertake the limited voters\u2019 registration exercise at the district level and selected electoral areas.<\/p>\n
But the police say the NDC\u2019s protest has to be rescheduled as a result of \u201clogistics challenges of the Police\u201d due to the Ramadan celebrations as Muslims in the country are expected to end their fast a day after the scheduled date for the protest.<\/p>\n
The court order signed by Justice of the High Court, Senyo Amedahe, and sighted by citinewsroom.com,<\/strong> further asked the Police to within 14 days engage the respondents in a meeting to reschedule the demonstrations after the Ramadan celebration.<\/p>\n\n\u201cThe respondents are hereby prohibited from engaging on the scheduled protest and demonstration against the Electoral Commission, Kumasi on the 3rd of June 2019 as a result of logistics challeges of the Police during this year\u2019s Ramadan period. It is the opinion of this court that the constitutional right to go on a protest or a demonstration is enjoined with the right to Police protection.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is hereby ordered that the applicant shall with 14 days from today engage the respondents in a meeting to re-schedule their demonstration after the Ramadan festivities,\u201d the court\u2019s restraining order read.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Ashanti Regional Wing of the NDC earlier on Friday said it might embark on a demonstration on Monday.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Citi News<\/strong>, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, Kwame Zu said the EC\u2019s method in the upcoming limited registration exercise is an attempt to deliberately disenfranchise communities where the NDC has a stronghold.<\/p>\n\u201cWe have expressed many concerns to the Electoral Commission and it appears their posture appears they are unfazed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last resort we had was to demonstrate our displeasure in the form of a peaceful procession Godwilling on the 3rd of June but we are convening a meeting to take a decision as to whether the demonstration will come on Monday or otherwise. But that is literally not dependent on the position of the Police to thwart the process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
