LMVCA to stage countless demonstrations

This follows the latest EC's decision to reject calls for a new voters' register, adding that the pro-NPP group has not provided enough and convincing evidence to suggest that the current register is not credible.

 

Pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA), has indicated that it will stage massive demonstrations to force the Electoral Commission (EC) to compile a new voter’s register.

This comes on the back of the latest decision by the EC to reject calls for a new voters' register, adding that the pro-NPP group has not provided enough and convincing evidence to suggest that the current register is not credible.

But, speaking to Pulse.com.gh, Convener of LMVCA, David Asante said they will stage countless demonstrations until the register is changed.

"How well are we prepared to accept the cleaning of the voters' register...The further confusion that will emerge from this cleaning exercise, we will not be able to contain it.

"We believe the fight has not ended. we will stage millions of demonstrations in this country. We may also have to go to the supreme court to offer support to Abu Ramadan

"We believe the EC has been very slow, and very lazy, and very inconsistent and inconsiderate about the issue of the voters' register," David Asante added.

The pressure group held a huge protest last year to drum home the need for a new voters' register.

A five-member panel was later set up by the Electoral Commission to conduct public hearings over the demands for a new voter register.

But, the EC, in a recent statement said the committee "finds the arguments for a new register unconvincing and therefore does not recommend the replacement of the current voters’ register."
