Election: (CSD-Ghana) Backs The NDC’s “Enough is Enough” Protest In Demand For A Credible Voters’Register

The CSD-Ghana believes strongly that the foundation of any free and fair election is a credible register and as such, any effort towards having a credible Voters’ Register must be supported by all democracy lovers. The Electoral Commission has admitted to many errors in the Electoral Roll, as pointed out by the NDC, but has failed to allow for an independent forensic audit into the same. The EC, for example, has admitted that there were illegal vote transfers in Sagnerigu, Pusiga and Tamale South by an Electoral Commission Official in Tamale South. According to the EC, these illegal transfers went through because there was no “liveness check” mechanism in place to prevent such situations.  The NDC says the situation is widespread so there must be an audit. This is a fair and reasonable call to make, but the EC has remained intransigent. CSD-Ghana stands ready to fully participate in this protest and asks other democracy lovers to join us to mount enough pressure on the Electoral Commis

Police Declare Readiness For Aboakyere Festival

Published from Blogger Prime Android App


The Effutu Police has hinted at its readiness to maintain peace and order in the forthcoming Aboakyer festival.

He warned that it would ruthlessly deal with any individual or group of persons who would attempt to foment trouble during the period.

The police have consequently asked people harbouring such intentions to change because they would not be spared when arrested.

A Police source told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that adequate measures had been put in place to ensure the safety of citizens of Effutu Oma, as well as all visitors who would join the chiefs and people to commemorate the 2024 edition of the Aboakyer Festival.

The festival on the theme: “Promoting Tradition and Development through Aboakyer celebration,” would commence on Saturday, April 27, and climax on Saturday, May 4, 2024, the day when the two Asafo companies in the area would go to their ancestral forest to catch a live bushbuck.

 Their tradition demands that the group with the first catch present it to the Oma Odefe at a state durbar, who would step a foot on the animal three times to signify acceptance by their god, Otu.

The police source indicated that, Aboakyer festival attracts a lot of people to the Municipality, particularly Winneba, which brings in its wake, issues of security, hence the need for tight monitoring to create an enabling environment for merrymakers to celebrate the occasion without any hindrances.

“We are adequately ready and will continue to provide protection for lives and property before, during and after the festivities,” the source assured.

The police entreated the public to complement their role during the period by giving out information of suspicious persons.

It urged citizens of Effutu to remain vigilant, while key stakeholders of the festival worked tirelessly to sustain the Aboakyer to continue to be one of the well-known festivals in the country and globally.
