Election 2020: NDC MPs to protest at EC headquarters today

Members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in parliament will storm the headquarters of the Electoral Commission (EC) today in protest of the 2020 president election results.

This was disclosed by MP for South Dayi Constituency in the Volta Region Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor.

He explained that “we are marching to the EC office to express our displeasure against the EC. We will go to court. The NDC will go to court but before that, these series of protests are also parts of the process."

The march by the 106 NDC lawmakers, is to prevail on the EC to overturn its declaration of President Akufo-Addo as winner of the 2020 elections.

There has been a series of protests by NDC supporters across the country against the EC’s declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the president-elect of Ghana after the December 7 polls.

The General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia had said that the party will use negative violence to overturn the verdict.

“Negative violence”, Mr Asiedu-Nketiah explained, was the use of ‘spirituality and tradition’, saying the party had already consulted ‘shrines’ in its bid to seek redress.

Addressing charged supporters of the NDC at a rally held in Techiman, Mr Asiedu-Nketia indicated it was clear the NDC won the presidential polls, and the party would go every length to ensure the EC’s verdict was changed in favour of the NDC.
