This call is for the peace and stability of our country. We know that the electoral commission is colluding with the NPP, so we are doing everything to stop it. We know that the register is not credible and we have asked for an independent audit. We think that is the only way to assure the people of Ghana of a credible register that will lead to transparent and credible elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Regional NDC Chairman, Nana Toku, also expressed determination to continue their efforts until their concerns are addressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EC has presented a register which is not credible to the people of this country and we are saying that, until that register is corrected, we will not rest until they do so. Enough is enough for us and we want peace in this country and therefore they should do the right thing. If they do not respond to it, there will be another action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Regional NDC demonstration against the EC, which was well-attended, included Dr. Sipa Yankey, former CEO of Ghana National Gas Company, and had about 800 police personnel deployed to ensure security. The demonstrators walked from the Takoradi Mall through Effia-Kuma to Sekondi before presenting their petition at the EC office.<\/p>\n<p>They carried placards that read: \u201cRigged Register\u201d, \u201cBias EC, Audit the Register\u201d, \u201cEC Banza\u201c, \u201cClergy; silence is complicity.
