Day-long demo against new Voters Register comes off today

Members of the Inter-Party Resistance against the New Voters Register are set to hit the streets Tuesday(today) morning as they embark on a day-long demonstration to demand a revision of the Electoral Commission’s plan to compile new voters register for the 2020 general elections.

The group which consists of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) and other political parties say they are not convinced with the EC’s justification of the need to compile a new voters register.

The parties have cited cost and timing as their reason for objecting to the compilation of a new electoral roll.

The demonstration which is expected to attract thousands of people will kick-off from Kawukudi Park.

Organizers of the demonstration have indicated that the protestors will besiege offices of the EC to demand that their request is met.
