The Joint Committee of the NDP and NDC has notified the police of a planned peaceful demonstration by the members of the National Democratic Party (NDP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and some civil society organizations (CSOs) in accordance with the Public Order Act.
The demonstration is scheduled for Thursday, 25 February 2021, from 7:30 am.
The demonstrators will start from the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and walk through the principal streets of Accra to the EC Headquarters, Supreme Court and end at the Mantse Agbona Park.
A letter co-signed by a founding father of the NDP, Owusu Cobbiah Richard, and a member of the NDC, Kobby Ramson, on 18 February 2021, stated that purpose of the march is to draw international attention to the ongoing election petition at the Supreme Court through which former President John Mahama is challenging the results of the December 2020 presidential election results.
The group says its members have qualms about the proceedings.
Mr Mahama recently filed for a review of a decision by the court which said he could not reopen his case.
The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, 16 February 2021, ruled unanimously that Mr Mahama could not reopen his case for the sole purpose of subpoenaing the star witness of the EC and using her as an “adverse” witness.
