YENPENI DEMO: ‘THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE WILL PREVAIL’ – SAMMY GYAMFI TO EC

-

The National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi says ‘the will of the people will prevail’ in the controversy surrounding the voters register for the December presidential and parliamentary polls.

"The voice of the people is the voice of God and that is what will prevail regardless of what Bossman Asare and Jean Mensah do, the will of the people will prevail relative to the issue of the compilation of a new voters register,” he told Mickynewsgh at a demonstration held in Kumasi today.

He added that “gradually people are beginning to appreciate the issue and we are satisfied with the attendance of today’s demonstration”.

The main opposition NDC and other parties against the compilation of new voters register by the Electoral Commission ahead of the December Presidential and parliamentary elections held a demonstration in Kumasi in the Ashanti region today.

The first protest to challenge plans of the new register was held at Tamale in the Northern region.

The group insists a new register is a waste of taxpayers money and could also create tension since the election is close.

The electoral commission, however, insists they will go ahead and create the register despite the disagreement by the parties and civil society organisations.

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
