Actress Yvonne Nelson has called on policy think tank IMANI Africa to organise a protest against the Akufo-Addo government over the ongoing erratic power supply, commonly known as "dumsor."
This call comes in the wake of recent intermittent power outages, with many Ghanaians demanding a load-shedding timetable from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
In a post on X on Monday, April 22, Ms Nelson stated that she is awaiting IMANI's outreach for the vigil, reminiscent of the organisation's involvement in a similar event in 2015.
Ms. Nelson criticised President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing them of taking the country for granted. She emphasized that such neglect should not be tolerated any longer.
"Imani Ghana, can we organise another vigil? I've been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. (your team made our demo a success ) I'm reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted."

The year 2015 marked a period of severe power cuts in Ghana, leading to widespread frustration among citizens. Actress and producer Yvonne Nelson spearheaded a massive protest against the John Mahama government over the erratic power supply.
IMANI Ghana, a renowned policy think tank, played a significant role in the success of the 2015 protest.
Their involvement helped galvanize support for the cause, bringing together many Ghanaian celebrities and citizens who were affected by the power cuts.
The 2015 vigil highlighted the impact of power cuts on daily life in Ghana and served as a platform for citizens to voice their discontent with the situation.
Now, with dumsor making a comeback, Yvonne Nelson is once again rallying for action, urging IMANI Ghana to lead the charge in organising a protest against the Akufo-Addo government.
Ms. Nelson's call for action follows the frustration felt by many Ghanaians over the persistent issue of erratic power supply.
