The National Democratic Congress (NDC), has hit the streets of Accra for it’s “Match for Justice” demonstration in protest of recent “state sponsored deaths”.
The NDC youth wing, were joined by hundreds of Ghanaians clad in red calling the President, Nana Addo, a dictator, and a tyrant.
A day before the NDC’s demonstration on Tuesday, July 6, #FixTheCountry protestors, also revealed August 4 as the date for their demonstration.
Activists of the #FixTheCountry social media campaign served a fresh notice to the Ghana Police Service to stage a demonstration on Wednesday, August 4.
The campaigners are hopeful this demonstration will come off and according to them, will be the first in a series of several planned regional and national demonstrations to be organised on the back of “consistent broken promises by successive governments”.
This comes in the wake of a protracted legal tussle between the campaigners and the Ghana Police Service after the latter secured a restraining order from an Accra High Court to stop the May 9 demonstration by the activists.
On Friday, June 25, the Court quashed the injunction but ordered the demonstrators to follow the laid-down procedure in staging a street protest.
It is worth noting that, the Ghana Police Service also put up a similar resistance to the NDC’s demonstration, but lost on that front too.
A statement issued by the organisers of the #FixTheCountry demonstration on Monday, July 5 said: “We will be putting out the routes of the demonstration shortly.
