Police in Accra say they have secured injunction to stop an alliance of pressure groups from picketing at Parliament and the Electoral Commission’s offices to demand a new voter’s register.

“We saw how adamant the group was” ASP Afia Tenge told Joy News, Tuesday after negotiations broke down with the organizers of Let My Vote Count Alliance.

She says the police had no choice than to secure an injunction.

The location of the picket was at the center of the disagreement between the police and organizers.

The police are against the group’s insistence on picketing at the Electoral Commission. It was suggested that the organizers turn the picket into a demonstration using a more familiar route used in most demonstrations in Accra. The group would not budge.

ASP Afia Tenge says the injunction does not stop LMVCA from going on the protest exercise slated for Wednesday 16, September but it is only to stop the protesters from picketing at the premises of the Electoral Commission.

She said the pro-NPP pressure group can use the Obra spot in Accra, pass through Farisco traffic light and end at the Hearts of Oak park or Independence Square.

LMVCA is promising 2,000 protesters will storm the capital to pressurize the Electoral Commission to accept the demand for a new voters register.

The demand for a new voters register is in line with  NPP's claims that the voters register is bloated. The NPP says there are more than 76,000 Togolese nationals on Ghana's voters register.

The demand has taken center stage within the NPP.

The 2016 presidential candidate of the opposition NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo says the call for a new voters' register is not an attempt to gain an electoral advantage.

It is to ensure that whoever wins the 2016 general elections will have the "instinctive” and “automatic” support of the loser, Nana Akufo-Addo told Radio Upper West.
