Ghana's opposition in nationwide protests ahead of December's general election
GHANA’S biggest opposition party has held nationwide protests demanding an audit of the voter roll for the general election due in December.
Millions of supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) participated in Tuesday’s protests in regional capitals across the country, NDC MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said in a live broadcast on TV3.
“We are not asking for a big favour from the electoral commission. We are demanding our right to free and fair elections,” NDC chairman Johnson Asiedu-Nketiah told party members before the protest march in Accra.
