So on the 17th of this month [September], NDC is going to demonstrate in every town that has an EC office. Our chairman has announced it,\u201d Mr. Mahama intimated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou [referring to NDC supporters] 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,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mahama explained that the demonstration is meant to press home the need for the commission to critically audit the voter register and address any discrepancies before the elections.<\/p>\n<p>He also called on the NDC supporters to come out in their numbers to vote for a change, saying, \u201cIf you vote well, it brings development and wellness. However, if you don\u2019t vote well and someone, who does not know governance, leads the country, it brings hardship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the NPP government has subjected Ghanaians to severe economic hardships, noting, \u201cBut thanks to the 1992 Constitution, we have another opportunity to vote for change and economic freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ernest Kofi Adu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Dramani Mahama\u00a0 \u00a0 Former President and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on his party supporters to stage a nationwide demonstration against the Electoral Commission (EC) on September 17.
